In 1992, Orlando residents Andy Burr (guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Greg Taillon (Cajun squeezebox, fiddle, vocals) formed The Porchdogs in order to perform the kind of music they loved but rarely heard in Central Florida--the rootsy good-time sound of Louisiana Cajun and Zydeco.
There are many configurations to choose from, including a trio, all the way up to a 7 pc band. How often do your guests get to hear a Fiddle and a Squeezebox? As a full band (the best way to hear the group), Porchdogs includes one of the hottest rhythm sections in Florida, which also includes a bassist, drummer, Cajun percussionist (rub board and triangle): usually Heather Wingate, Fiddle, Squeezebox, Harmonica, Guitar and fantastic vocals!
The Porchdogs band is well known throughout the state, regularly performing at Orlando's theme parks, at festivals and fairs, at nightclubs, and at numerous corporate and private events. The group is ideal for theme parties, especially Swamp, Gator, Mardi Gras, New Orleans, 'Fish Camp,' Fais do-do, Rural, and Cajun Christmas; great for family reunions, house parties, wedding receptions, barbecues, picnics and casual get-togethers.
