About Me

A whiskey voice, lightning fingers, and a strong love of the nostalgic are the best ways to some up a white boy from South Kansas City that plays the Delta Blues on an Irish Bouzouki.A 25 year veteran of countless Classic Rock, Jazz and Progressive bands, Bone Doggie has finally settled comfortably into the world of hard core Delta Blues and American Roots Music."The Delta Blues can ONLY be considered the absolute roots of Rock and Roll, (which is where my roots truly are) and the wealth of material is at the same time humbling and staggering." he says. "Not to mention the fact that it's just a hoot to play."As for the Irish Bouzouki; "Roots again." says Doggie. "Lots of Irish in this bloodline. Besides, after so many years I wanted to play an instrument that was a bit...different than the beaten track. And the bouzouki sounds so old timey! The thing just rocks."Along with the assistance of the Hickory Street Hellraisers, a Bone Doggie Show is truly an event. That is if you're into a toe tappin', finger snappin, hand clappin', Wang Dang Doodle of an evening...Doggie's bouzouki was built by W.A. Peterson (www.petersenstringshop.com
