Funkdawgs featured on Nashville Music Guide Magazine

Nashville Music Guide magazine, April 2006
INTERNET FUNKDAWGS COME ALIVE
Imagine a band recording 2 albums and never having met person to person. That's exactly what the Funkdawgs band did. With musicians all over the world that hooked up on the mp3.com site these stellar players recorded a jazz R&B funky sound that is out of this world. The group was formed in 2001 and have release two internationally-acclaimed independent albums, BORDERLESS (2003) and DAWGMA (2005).
These stellar players met in person for the first time to reharse for their first live gig on April 1st at the Gibson Showcase Club in Nashville USA. The musician ship at the show was extraordinaire, from the flawless guitar riffs to the soulful solos of the sax player woven around a toe tapping jazz and R&B groove. If the live performance is indicative of their CD's, you need to check out their web site (www.funkdawgs.com). Sadly the next live performance of the band will not be in Nashville but this summer on Saratoga NY.
The Drummer Filippo told NMG, "We all had home studios and never met person to person until this week for our 1st live performance. Bob Johnson, the Saxophone player was the catalyst to get us all together". The Funkdawgs members are Bobby Brewer from Nashville USA (guitar), Filippo Bertacche from Vicenza Italy (drums), Bob Johnson from Ottawa Canada (sax), Bill Lawrence from Albany NY USA (bass) and Kyle Whitlock from Columbia South Carolina USA (keyboards). www.funkdawgs.com

Funkdawgs Live Video at Gibson Showcase

Over the past five years the Funkdawgs have released two internationally-respected and well-received independent albums, Borderless and Dawgma, but had never met face-to-face. That’s because the Dawgs all connect, create, contribute and produce their music via the Internet...sending self-recorded WAV files to each other as their songs are developed.
Dream became true last April 2006 when FUNKDAWGS played live for the first time at Gibson Showcase Lounge in Nashville TN (USA). On main site www.funkdawgs.com click on live section to reach the video with some shots of their live performance at Gibson Showcase... 17 minutes of video there for you to see you favourite DAWGS playing together for the first time... after few hours of rehearse... finally together on stage. We hope this was the first of several future appereances.
Special guest on Cat's Meow, Foundation and Free Delivery tunes Mr. John Garr on second saxophone.
FUNKDAWGS would like to thank all those people helped and supported the band through these five years. THANK YOU!!
