St. John's Summer Concert Series: Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs
jul 29, 2021 at 7:00 PM
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs are an energetic Americana band from Bozeman, Montana, that infuses four–part harmonies, engaging songwriting, and rock–n–roll drive into a modern approach to traditional folk music. Coming from varied musical backgrounds, the five–person ensemble creates a sound unique to them, but one that finds common ground by adding the energy of Montana’s big sky country into their music.
The Bird Dogs have been taking their infectious sound on the road since 2013, supporting acts such as The Travelin’ McCourys, The Steeldrivers, The Steep Canyon Rangers, The Jeff Austin Band, Amy Helm, Leftover Salmon, Town Mountain, and many more.
The most recent album, Through the Smoke, was recorded in February of 2021 at The Panoramic House in Stinson Beach, CA. The Bird Dogs released a live self–titled studio album in 2016, recorded at Basecamp Studio in Bozeman. Their follow–up album, titled The Vigilante Session, was recorded live at a forest service cabin in the Ruby mountains. In 2019 Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs recorded their first full–length studio album, Sweet Little Lies, at Prairie Sun Records in Cotati CA. Their live album, Live at the Filling Station, was recorded in 2019 at the Filling Station in Bozeman MT and released in 2020.
