Blue Dogs The S.C. band is back once again this time around, they'll warm up the Alive After Five crowd. As horrendous as the band schedule has been this summer with cover band, after cover band, after cover band, the AAF folks should be given credit for scheduling a damn-fine band this week. Stand-up bass, acoustic guitar, drums and a good bit of Southern twang give the Blue Dogs a broad appeal. Sure, the crowd may not be singing along to every word, but they can get feet moving, asses shaking and the majority of attendees to pay attention to quality original music for a change.
