The members of the group have changed over the years, as has the band's sound, but the music is always great! They have a powerful, unique sound, with djembe and conga drums and Scottish border pipes.
The lyrics to the auld songs are amazing - also the vocals, melodies, and instrumentation. Tender ballads and great pumping dance music - full of passion.
The current lineup is (top photo) Aaron Jones (guitar, bouzouki and lead vocals), and Ali Hutton (pipes and whistle and backup vocals); (photo right), drummer and percussionist Fraser Stone, and (photo below right) original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle, mandolin, guitar and backup vocals). These photos were taken at a May 2011 concert in Delaware (sponsored by the Green Willow Folk Club). Jonny Hardie did not play this night, due to an immigration red tape issue, but I've included a photo of him from a past Dogs' concert.
