Cattledog Orchestra

Cattledog Orchestra takes a new approach for gigging bands.  The core is comprised of 4 seasoned and solid musicians. Each show the band recruits some of the top and finest players in the area as guest orchestra members, providing fans with a unique auditory experience each show.   The band performs a mix of creatively crafted original songs with great covers they have carefully selected.  For the covers the band approaches them much like a jazz band would approach a standard.  The basic form of the song is there, however with the highly improvisational nature of the band and the wide variety of guest musicians, each time it is a new audio exploration.   The band enjoys casting a broad net in the originals and covers they play and have coined the term eclectic electric to show that they are not afraid to attempt any style of music and craft it to fit their sound.  The frequent spontaneous and improvisational portions of the set, they have coined, Organic Grooves, is balanced by their  ability to play flawless intensely complicated and familiar arrangements.   With nearly 100 years of combined performance experience and a dizzying array of guest orchestra members willing to share the stage with the band, each show is a distinct, unique, and memorable experience for all types of music lovers.
