Welcome to the Yankee Dogs About page. About What? Us, of course! We're really not the vain breed of dog, but we though you might want to know a little more about the musicians. See ya at a gig!
Band members came together during jam sessions at open mics hosted by Meyer and discovered a shared love of American roots music. Reid’s interest in traditional American music along with Gasiorek’s jazz influences, Muller’s and Barrette’s renown solo work, and Meyer’s unique fretless sound makes for a fun and rollicking time through a catalog of western swing, folk rock, blues, rockabilly, rock & roll, and bluegrass.
