TONY ENGELHART: TONIGHT AT LE VOYEUR >>>

Nobody can accuse the Lost Dogs of being negative â€" as the band’s sunny disposition translates into upbeat tunes that make even the pessimistic listener crack a smile. With a hybrid of Americana, alt-country, folk-rock and just a hint of 1960s pop, the Nashville, Tenn., quartet is three front men â€" and a drummer â€" who brought their individual styles together to create a sound that is unique in the age of redneck country. All three share vocal duties, which makes for some rich Beatle-esque harmonies. With an impressive 10 albums to their credit, the band has no shortage of material to fill their live gigs. The last studio recording came in 2006. The Lost Cabin and the Mystery Trees was a return to the band’s original sound. With a pop friendly disposition, they croon through snappy tunes with a Byrds-like feel â€" free wheeling, positive and oh so groovy, man.
