The Blue Dog Band has been together going on two years. We've had a few different members, but we're settled down now. We play at a local Anchorage bar called Eddie's Sports Bar, five nights a week. Brook faulk is the "boss" of the Blue Dog Band and was playing with us five nights a week, but due to her daughter having seizures, she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, so she cut down to only two nights a week. So she asked a well known local country artist to sit in, Mike Olson, who has been doing a great job and has been bringing in one hell of a crowd. Thanks Mike.
The Blue Dog Band has band has played quite a few venues around Anchorage these last few years and has done quite well. Two years ago we tied with the Ken Peltier Band for the "Number One Country Band" in a local musician newsletter called Gear Junkies, which was pretty awesome. Then, Brook Faulk, this last year came in second for "Best Singer/Vocalist" in the AK Press (Jared Woods came in first). The guitar player for the Blue Dog Band, Zack Roberts, also got second for "Best Gutiar Player" in Anchorage (Jared Woods also got first here).
Every Tues. night, the Blue Dog Band ft. Mike Olson hosts a Open Mic. for anybody that wants to come in and jam. You can either bring in your own instrument and play yourself, or you can borrow an instrument and sit in with the band. Anyone is welcome.
Also, every Wednesday night, it's "Ladies Night" at Eddie's. So if you want to have a couple drinks, learn some line dancing, or just hang out, you should definetly come down to Eddie's. This is host by two local radio DJ's (KBEAR 104.1) Matt Valley and Delanie Parks. So come on down and then stick around to hear the Blue Dog Band with Mike Olson play afterward.
