Since the 2000 release of their first studio CD Sol Dog has performed at numerous venues and at outdoor festivals throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. They have been regular performers at popular Manhattan clubs including Hogs & Heifers and Tobacco Road. Their Connecticut appearances have included Norwalk's Oyster Festival and SoNo Arts Festival, Bridgeport's Black Rock Festival, Shelton Day, and noteworthy clubs such as Toad's Place and Shenanigans. Their charity appearances for a variety of causes are too many to list here.
Sol Dog was the featured act at the Danbury, CT July 4th fireworks show for three consecutive years, entertaining over a thousand people for three hours before moving into the Classic Rock Pub and playing another three sets.
At NYC's Tobacco Road they achieved some of their biggest boosts. For one such set they opened for Peaceful Kinevel, a band fronted by former members of the Black Crowes and the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies and featuring former members of Lenny Kravitz's and Keith Richards' bands. They also appeared with Marc Ford (also of Black Crowes) and the Sinners. Both sets received raucous applause; Sol Dog CDs sold out and T-shirts had to be re-ordered. It was at this club that they met former Allman Brothers Band/Gov't Mule/Blue Floyd keyboardist Johnny Neel, who produced their second studio CD, "Whatever Gets You There," recorded in September 2003 in his studio in Nashville, Tennessee. After some production delays, this CD was released in 2005. Currently it is selling many copies at home and in Europe.
