MadDawgz

Combining elements of experimental funk, progressive metal, and boogie/blues-tinged classic rock, MadDawgz originally formed in true impromptu fashion during the course of many a nightly open-jam session in the south Snohomish County area, primarily initiated by premier guitarist maestro Evan Wickham (Soul Sychedelics, Inergroove). Evan recruited long-time associate Danny Eddy on drums to help lay the foundation, and the 2 of them began to host their own open-mic jam nights. It wasn't long before Vortex Will stepped in with them on bass and vocals, promptly formulating a tight power-trio. Will's love of vocals however prompted him to step away from the bass, and up to the mic. A host of different bass players had stepped in, but it was Dean "The Machine" Campbell who began to help round-out the back-beat sound that would become MADDAWGZ. Also happening upon the scene was Seattle rock pioneer Gordy Lockard (ex: Thundermen) to complete some necessary workloads on bass. MadDawgz currently hosts weekly Jam Nights at 3 differing venues throughout the region, from Seattle to Everett. Exceptional musicians and enthusiasts of all genres from throughout are discovering and becoming part of the MadDawgz experience. Come join us!
