MDSJ’s focus on live stage performance continues to bring people of all flavors out to the dance floor and into the party…
Gritty and energetic, this original act is a flavor blend of music pioneered by the likes of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Eddie Cockran combined with the sad and salty country flavors of honky-tonk pioneers, such as Johnny Horton and Johnny Cash, create the ultimate vintage American rock-n-roll experience. With the blend of new and old, this Americana trio is as high and tight as Mad Dog’s greasy pompadour and will never let you off the dance floor no matter how much sweat and booze permeates this 1950’s party atmosphere.
