About Me


"The Lapp Dawgs" was formed in November 2006. Each member has twenty-five plus years of experience. Originally, the band started out as a trio; but in August 2007 female vocalist Shelly Tyree was added to give the band that special touch and versatility. In February 2008 lead guitarist Robert Phelps joins the band to complete the powerful sound and dynamics of "The Lapp Dawgs".

"The Lapp Dawgs" play a wide variety of cover songs from such artists as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jason Aldean, Gretchen Wilson, Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Jett, Pink, Chris Daughtry, Prince, Marshall Tucker Band, Doobie Bros. Taste of Honey, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, Jewel, Billy Squier, Bad Company, Poison, Green Day, CCR and many, many more.
