The Yard Dogs are a high energy, fun loving, live performance type of band. We play a style of music we call "Florida Cajun". It's a cajun/zydeco sound that incorporates classic rock, folk and blues. Though we cover songs from the folk, rock, blues and cajun/zydeco genres, we write original music for much of the music we play. We have been categorized as having a "bizarre mix of songs" and we very much enjoy that description of our music! The Yard Dogs incorporate 6-string banjo, accordion, Jamaican Rhumba Box, keyboards, acoustic guitar, harmonica and rub board (frottoir) in our performances. We encourage audience participation and provide frottoir, cow bell, tambourine and shaker type instruments for "guest percussionists".
