Diesel Dog is a Roots Fusion band from Norfolk
County, Ontario.
We have been performing at festivals,
fairs, events, and clubs for the past 15 years. Its hard to count, but we have
likely played close to 1000 shows.
Depending on the event we play either play an acoustically oriented set, or we
plug in for an electrified set of tight and funky rock 'n roll.
When performing acoustically we
play a rootsy, 'bluegrassy' blend of Americana inspired original material mixed
with some choice cover material.

When we perform electric we have a great big dancable energy; a
funky intensity that always gets the crowd on their feet and into the music.
Our electric show is full of improvisational twists and turns, anchored by one
of Ontario's tightest rhythm sections.
Whether we come out acoustically with our hillbilly funk, or plug in for a set
of electrified roots-rock psychedelia, people end up dancing at Diesel Dog
shows.
We usually perform as a five piece (a mix of banjo, dobro, fiddle, electric and
acoustic guitar, bass, rhodes piano, synths, congas, and drums).
Highlights include opening spots for Little Feat and Johnny Winter.
We have developed a strong regional following and have just finished our 3rd
all original CD
