Biography

Sundog is Dan Caldwell, Phil Neisser, and Doug Schatz bringing you fresh original Rock with a dash of americana style country, a splash of reggea here and there, a touch of blues, and a full shot of fun. But don't take our word for it - see what Fourth Coast Entertainment Magazine had to say after watching a live show:

December 15th, 2007 -- Country Rock tonight by Sundog, with the emphasis on Rock. These guys are new to me and quite a pleasant surprise. The band consists of Dan Caldwell on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Doug Schatz on lead guitar and occasional lead vocals, and Phil Neisser on spunky drums. The bass player has recently left town and is sorely missed. Sundog played all original material for nearly two full hours. Caldwell is the main songwriter and an enthusiastic vocalist. Schatz also writes - he wears a cowboy hat, sings his own songs with a C&W voice, and he plays a pretty mean salmon-pink electic guitar, which compares rather favorably, with old Lynyrd Skynyrd. After a slow start - the first few songs seemed dull and a bit out of tune - the band members got into their upbeat groove and rocked with catchy numbers "Que Sera," "True to Gone," and "Underdog."
