    Artist description
    This Band that plays in a setup like Elvis Presley´s 1st band takes you on a journey through Styles like Western Swing, Rockabilly, Ragtime, Bluegrass Music and Jazzy stuff.With their sence for interpreting old music styles in a modern way the Salty Dogz do not destroy the magic of the sound of the old songs that they keep remembering.The band member´s experience on their instruments give them the possibility to operate in a wide range of styles and create their own uncompareable sound.A part of their sound is reached by not using any drumset on stage, the slapped upright bass fits this part of their music.
