"FUNKY/BLUESY/GROOVE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG"

About Me

TO PURCHASE THE NEW 6 SONG LAPDOG PROMO CD FEATURING HEATHER LUCKHART ON LEAD VOCALS: $5.00 CONTACT [email protected] name "Lapdog" started with Glen Bensley in 2000. Friends said that he looked like "the devil's lap dog" when he played his rootsie, New Orleans style accoustics. Things grew from there. Shane Miller started playing bass with Glen, and Dale (former owner of the Down'Omer) started on with them on drums. By 2001, Gerry Fox (owner of foxsongs studios) replaced Shane's bass playing with his bluesy groovey style. Soon after, gig's started to come up outside of the Down'Omer and Craig McMillan took over on drums. The current Lapdog drummer, John Peters, often played percussion. Sean Wailin and his sax would often sit in with Lap Dog during this same time. Craig left the band in 2005 so John Peters was the logical replacement, bringing his funky, upbeat style beyond his congas. Glen Bensley, Gerry Fox and John Peters decided mid 2006 to add a new element. Heather Luckhart is the newest member of Lapdog bringing her wonderfully rich and smokey vocals. This latest line up is by far the best, for groove infused blues, reggae, new orleans and southern styles of music come on out and hear us.
