84 Sheepdog

About Me


Ahoyhoy. Welcome to us.

We are 84 Sheepdog, a group of local musicians based out of Saxtons River, Vermont.

When we first got together, we decided that the most crucial element of this band was that the music was fun;

fun for us to play and fun for you listen to.

We are avid musicians who truly love what we do - music is our hobby as well as our profession, and we want to relate that feeling to our fans.

We try very hard not to fall into any one category or genre of music as we like and enjoy it all, whatever may come.

You may not like some of the stuff that you hear from us, but at least it is eliciting an emotion, something that is woefully lacking from most music these days. It is important to us that you walk away from a show with something: a sticker, a feeling, a new dislike for a song, a cd, or just a conversation starter. Mostly, we would like to relay the feeling of freedom music allows us and we hope that an inkling of that is reciprocated to our audience.

Stand up and dance.

Sit back and enjoy.

It's a celebration.

Ahoy.



84 Sheepdog band is:
Cherries Jubilee - (a.k.a. - Josh Maiocco) Former Lead Guitarist of Ingrid's Ruse and one hell of a blues, rock, folk guitar player. He's even been known to play some lounge music.
Butterscotch - (a.k.a. - JD Martin) Behold, the multi tasking man who is the current Bass Player for The Highball Heroes and now 84 Sheepdog. JD has amazing bass skills, awesome drawing ability and is an all around good guy.
Strawberry Cream - (a.k.a. - Shamus Martin) Former Drummer for Ingrid's Ruse. He's in the band solely to play the cowbell.
