My Dog Bill crafts heartfelt, free-spirited Alternative Rock with various songs rooted in Folk, Funk, Reggae, and Americana. The band fortifies performances with unyielding musicianship and zeal radiating positive vibes, sonic dynamism, and bona fide joy into people’s lives. Michael Shawn, Ted, and Paul's musical evolution revolves around inspiring the masses with their music and mindset. 2015 will always prove My Dog Bill’s well-deserved victory party.

 Since reconnecting via Facebook in 2013, My Dog Bill has embellished its song catalogue while playing Greater Philadelphia venues like The Trocadero, War3house 3, The Rusty Nail, The Legendary Dobbs, The North Star Bar, Doc Watson’s Public House, and MOJO 13 with fine local artists: Three Fourteen, Chronic Wolf, The Tommy Froelich Trio, Mesa Jane, Sacred Cube, Emergency Brakethru, RaLeaf, Folk Fugitive, Circadian Frequency, Audio Kings of the Third World, and The National Bird. Additionally, bands like SuperMonkey and Sunshine Riot asked My Dog Bill to join the bill when each tour came into town, and radio programs 93.7 WSTW’s Hometown Heroes, WCHE 1520 AM, PLM Radio, and the Live at the Nail Radio Show featured My Dog Bill songs, promoted, and interviewed the band. Working with charitable organizations forever beats at the core of My Dog Bill’s melodic mission. Michael Shawn, Ted, Brian, and Paul played the 5th Annual Spring Festival and Summer Jubilee in Trainer, PA with other local artists Second Place Champions, SynnerG, Anthony Caserta of Boy in Black, and Three Fourteen to raise money for the town’s community center. Expanding the duo to a four-member band, the guys performed at Fennario and Freddie's Tavern & Grille during the summer months, competed in Gorilla Music’s Battle of the Bands, and reached the finals held at The World Café Live Philadelphia on September 6, 2015.

High energy party band for all occasions.

In this Digital Day and Age it seems music theft is up so if you have been directed here to review my music for licensing email me and I'll put a private playlist together for you... denbo17@gmail.com
I have been composing and performing music for more than 30 years, making forays into jazz, rock, and country, more recently working on production music for television and film. I presently have music in 15 plus libraries, some music exclusively. I have also shared my music with other artists, such as the Irish rock band Blackthorne who covered my song “Lady Liberty” for their album The Other Side, and the late Scotty Turner who has published some of my country songs in Nashville. I also play guitar and sing with the band Redd Rock (or Redd Jazz) throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. I have recently had music placed on the Discovery Channel shows "Don't Drive Here" "Vegas Rat Rods," Bravos' Top Ten Vacation Special, Catfish the TV Show on the MTV Network.
