DERELICT DOG Acoustic classic & alternative rock + exciting original music
Derelict Dog is a dynamic acoustic rock duo from Lake Ridge, Virginia known for their raw energy and distinctive sound. With a passion for hard-rocking acoustic arrangements, they blend riffs, soulful melodies, and powerful harmonies to create music that both resonates with fans of rock’s golden eras and pushes the boundaries of what acoustic music can achieve. Their original songs capture the intensity of rock anthems, while their covers of classic and modern rock bands span multiple decades, from the timeless classics of the '60s, '70s, and '80s to the gritty anthems of the '90s and beyond.
Derelict Dog brings a fresh twist to acoustic rock. The duo's unique approach to stripping down iconic rock songs into powerful, hard-hitting acoustic renditions showcases their skill in transforming music into something deeply personal and electrifying. Whether they're performing their own hard-edged acoustic rock creations or delivering an acoustic reimagining of your favorite rock hits, Derelict Dog is guaranteed to leave audiences captivated and craving more.
