Cravin' Dogs (The Kennedy Center)

Cravin' Dogs

Cravin' Dogs began as a "gonzo-folk" trio in 1986 featuring Caldwell Gray, Lisa Venable Gray and Tom Helf. Since then, Cravin' Dogs has evolved into an all-original, eclectic, rootsy, rock/pop outfit that has released six full-length albums. Today the band features Caldwell Gray (acoustic guitar/keys/vocals), John Penovich (electric guitar), Barry Warsaw (bass guitar), Todd Baker (electric violin), Aura Kanegis (vocals), and Sven Bridstrup (drums). The group has shared the stage with Chuck Berry, The Dave Matthews Band, STYX, NRBQ, The Radiators, Cake, The Connells, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Hillbilly Funk All-Stars, Hobex, Beth Hart, Gillian Welsh, Peter Rowan, Eddie From Ohio and The Bottlerockets. Their most recent album, "Roots Rock Paper Scissors" (2000), was nominated for the Washington Area Music Association's "Best Roots Rock Album of the Year" and was named "Best Local Release of 2000" by Lou King of The Journal Newspapers.
