Borrowing their name from an old piping tune, Dogs Among The Bushes has been surprising audiences on two continents with their innovative sound since the 1980s. The interplay between string and wind instruments, driven by the intricate bass lines and powerful vocal harmonies, has become the Dogs' trademark. While the band makes its own arrangements of traditional Celtic music, adding some of the energy and feel of rock & roll, they also feature the original compositions of C.B. Heinemann and Charlie MacVicar. These songs and tunes are deeply rooted in Celtic traditions, which lend them a rich power and timelessness. Geoffrey Himes of the Washington Post said their songs ". . . are among the best Celtic folk rock numbers coming from either side of the Atlantic." Dogs Among The Bushes has also appeared with internationally known artists such as Fairport Convention, The Battlefield Band, Paddy Keenan and Frankie Gavin, Andy Irvine, Dar Ar Bras, In Tua Nua, and Luka Bloom. Their independently released recordings have recieved critical and popular acclaim, and selections from their recordings have been played on the radio across the United States and Europe. The Dogs continue to explore musical possibilities with a growing collection of original compositions inspired by music from around the world. They an also dip into their vast repertoire, as the occasion requires, to play crowd-pleasing songs or ceilhi dance music. The Dogs invite you to open your ears to the unique sound a
