Description

The Sundogs are a four-piece band with eight years of experience specializing in lively covers of popular rock tunes from the 1960s onward -- Beatles, Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Cars, Tom Petty, U2 and even some Nirvana and Green Day!

Although the Sundogs also play clubs and taverns on occasion, by far the majority of our gigs are now wedding receptions and other private and corporate parties. Please see our excellent client feedback!

For weddings, we typically play from 8pm to midnight with three short 15-minute breaks. We always hire the services of a professional sound company to provide and run the PA system (this cost is included in our fee). The sound technician will play recorded music during band breaks and for special dances. Often, this music is supplied by the client on an iPod. Also, with sufficient lead time, the band will attempt to learn one or two requested songs especially for your event!

Feedback

  • We are extremely happy with their performance. Thank you!!! -- Shana C, Baraboo, WI, 8/26/2006
  • We were thrilled with the Sundogs and their performance. The music was incredible - the dance floor was packed all night long. I even think that a couple of the guests are hoping to book the Sundogs for future events! If you are looking for a band that really rocks, these guys are fabulous. I highly recommend them! -- Susan W, Freeport, IL, 7/23/2005
  • The Sundogs were absolutely amazing. Our guest enjoyed having a live band - the bands energy (along with liquor) fueled the party. I would recommend them to everyone! They were well worth the money. We are looking for another occasion to hire them. -- Mandy V, Lake Geneva, WI, 5/28/2005
