About Me

The Dirty Water Dogs (named after the mystery morsels that are vended on street corners in their native New York City) are somewhat of a roots rock supergroup. Being a hybrid of the swamp rock monsters Loup Garou and folk heroes 5 Chinese Brothers, the Dirty Water Dogs perform a mix of rollicking zydeco blues, cajun and heartfelt originals.With Neil Thomas on accordion and vocals, Homeboy Steve on guitar and vocals, Skip Ward on Dirty Water Doghouse bass and abetted by Tom Tom Club percussionist Bruce Martin, the Dirty Water Dogs are sure to knock your socks off.
