This show is part of the Saratoga New Year’s Fest. Once the Putnam Place allotment of tickets are sold out, you can still gain admission by purchasing a Saratoga New Year’s Fest ticket, which will also get you into a number of other shows in town, including Robert Randolph, Joan Osborne and more. NOTE: Some of the SNYF ticket options do not “guarantee” you entry into this show, so if you want guaranteed entry, make sure you purchase the ticket that says “Dogs in Pile Combo: Fest GA + Guarantee Entry Putnam/Dogs in Pile – Advance Sale.” There will also be a VERY limited number of admissions reserved for people who purchase the SNYF GA ticket. However, admission with a SNYF GA ticket will be on a first come, first served basis (ie; not guaranteed) and there will be no “guaranteed” re-entry if you leave the venue, as someone else may take your spot.
Ring in the new year with a 3-set performance by Dogs in a Pile!
The sandy shores of Asbury Park, New Jersey are hallowed ground in the northeast; the rolling waves have ushered generations of venerated musicians to worldwide acclaim. Dogs in a Pile, an eclectic quintet, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk, jazz, and rock and roll with psychedelia, the quintet presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear.
The Dogs employ a unified approach to performance and songwriting, crafting aural mosaics through adept instrumentation and humble precocity. As avid storytellers, they draw inspiration from personal experiences, balancing life’s foibles with ever-present youthful sanguinity.
Dogs began when Philadelphia University of the Arts guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with young Joe Babick (drums), a student at the Count Basie Theater program in Red Bank, NJ. Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of fellow Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs’ puzzle.
A string of successful local shows drove the development of a massive northeast fan base, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. The band’s astronomical growth culminated in an epic, sold-out performance at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park during the summer of 2021. Armed with a fresh batch of new material, Dogs in a Pile is taking its perpetually evolving testament to the Great American Songbook on tour in 2022, visiting plenty of new cities and spreading good music and good energy to good people along the way.
