The Cavedogs
The Cavedogs were an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's lineup consisted of Todd Spahr (vocals, bass), Mark Rivers (drums), and Frank Grogan (guitar, vocals). They gained some recognition for their energetic and melodic sound, releasing albums such as "Joyrides for Shut-Ins" (1990) and "Soul Martini" (1992). While they didn't achieve widespread commercial success, they had a dedicated fan base and are remembered as part of the alternative music scene of that era.
Sadly, Frank had to be replaced by Brian Stevens in 2024. Stevens took over on bass from Todd Spahr who moved to guitar and is, let’s be honest, no Frank Grogan.
March 29th w/ Special Guests The Shellye Valauskas Experience
Based in the New Haven area, Shellye Valauskas & Dean Falcone write meticulously crafted power pop songs, with an emphasis on “power.” The songs hearken back to the finer moments of the 1970’s and 1980’s and are filled with sparkling melodies powered by sharp and often jangly electric guitars; think Big Star, The Raspberries and Aimee Mann. The latest release, History of Panic, is a collection of catchy choruses, swirly guitars and melodies that instantly draw you in and satisfy on every level.
In addition to Valauskas and Falcone, the current line up of the band includes Brian Stevens (Cavedogs) on bass, Jim Balga on drums and Bruce Crowder on keys and percussion.
