Another sick one, I don’t think I can make the RI/MA shows but I still might try to get my hands on this!

I’m seeing horses in the black and white patterns and ducks with the white and yellow, among the pink and yellow flowers. Anyone else?

After a four-show journey that took the band from New York to North Carolina, the Dogs are heading back up the East Coast towards familiar grounds. The weekend promises a 3-night stint in the heart of New England, but the band has one more stop to make in the south before returning to the northeast.

Tonight’s booking is a special dual-headlining affair featuring both Dogs and Eggy for the Oceanfront Concert Series in Virginia Beach. These two bands are tight - they previously shared the stage together for a similar dual two-night booking at the Cap in Fall ‘24, and have crossed paths during more festival weekends than I can remember. The show's going down at 24th Street Park, a stage and open space right on the Virginia Beach coastline, right next to the local Surf & Rescue Museum. It looks like most of the other shows during this summer series are being held at the smaller 17th Street Park a few blocks down the road, so I think it's safe to say a larger crowd is expected tonight!

The Dogs, of course, are no stranger to Hampton Roads, but it has been 22 months since they were last in Virginia Beach opening for Frasco at New Realm Brewing - their last and only headlining show in the city was back in October '23 at Elevation 27. Both bands are technically headliners tonight, but someone has to go first: Dogs are batting leadoff at 7 (sun set = best set) with Eggy's set scheduled for 9. Both bands will be out at 10:35 for super-jam, so be sure to stick around even if you're just there for Dogs!

PRE-SHOW TUNES

• 2023-10-12 - Virginia Beach, VA - The last time the Dogs headlined in Virginia Beach, they delivered mammoth versions of Bring It On Up (longest to date) and It Gets Better, with Battenkill-laced Charlie on the side. This is the one I’m relistening to today!
• 2024-11-30 - Port Chester, NY - This was the second of the abovementioned two-show booking the Dogs set up with Eggy back in Nov. '24 at the Capitol Theatre. Both nights are fun, but this one has slightly more Dogs on offer (and Bulls on Parade, a personal favorite cover).
