Three Cats and a Dog is a trio of musicians who perform a lively and eclectic mix of songs & fiddle tunes on various acoustic instruments in a variety of styles including Bluegrass & Blues, Celtic & Country, Jazz, Swing & Old-Time acoustic music.
The band consists of Richard Gregory-Allen on fiddle, mandola and backup vocals; Jim Shaw on guitar, banjo, dobro, soprano saxophone and harmony vocals; and John Alden on upright bass, button accordion, guitar and lead vocals.
"Three Cats and A Dog" is happy to play almost anywhere! They regularly play for weddings and private parties, for concerts and festivals, and in restaurants and taverns. And while as a trio they are a popular high-energy contradance band, they are also a complete "contradance kit." John is a wonderful dance caller who can interest advanced dancers and "non-dancers" alike in contras, squares and mixers.
Available for weddings, concerts, festivals, contra dances, parties and restaurant, tavern and pub entertainment.
