The only time I ever saw my Grandpa weep was while listening to Hank Williams. He was a farmer, a drinker, and a lover of classic country music. He’s also the reason I  started The Family Gold with my Wife, Michelle Morales. Michelle and I have toured the country on multiple accounts as the experimental cello and drum duo, The Loneliest Monk. Over the last couple of years though, our attention has been pulled back to the roots of American music. We started focusing on early country, blues, and hillbilly acts such as Moon Mullican, Bob Wills, and Lefty Frizzell; the kind of music that makes you wanna stomp the floors, poor a stiff drink, and then cry a little. So Michelle snagged an upright bass, I pulled out the ol’ six string, and we began writing and playing and singing. Soon after, I met our drummer, Seth Bohn, who played in the iconic Chicago rock band, Mannequin Men. Finally, we invited western swing fiddle player, Anne Beal, to join. Now we had a band, and we were ready to make some real noise. Alright Now is our first set of recordings. It features four original songs and a Charley Jordan cover, and was recorded live in Chicago, Illinois during a single October evening. You’re going to hear some country, you’re going to hear some blues, but most of all you’re going to hear, The Family Gold. We aim to take what we love, and play it for you in our own new way. Please enjoy, preferably with a glass of the good stuff. - Miles

Campdogzz capture the bleak yet spirited heart of the industrial midwest in a five-piece band propelled by driving rhythms, insistent dual guitars set in intriguing arrangements, and the haunting, evocative songs and voice of Tulsa native Jess Price. In a moment, Jess turns a beguiling melody to a darkening storm, rich in portent and meaning.

Campdogzz have earned a devoted following in Chicago and the midwest, with a line-up that has solidified into a potent live band featuring Jess Price (lead vocals, guitar and keyboard); Mike Russell (guitar and backup vocals); Nick Enderle (guitar); Andrew Rolfsen (bass); and Chris Dye (drums). 
In addition to their own headlining shows and tours (until recently conveyed by a school bus rigged for self-sufficient touring and camping; if you don’t know where to get the best falafel in every American city, you are definitely not a Campdog), the band has opened for Big Thief, Sam Evian, Ohmme, Tim Kasher and others. They were recently seen in the first season of the Netflix series, Easy, recorded a popular Audiotree live video session, and self-released “Riders in the Hills of Dying Heaven” in 2015. That early recording has been streamed nearly 2 million times. Now, Campdogzz are poised to come aggravate your blues, bang your head, and remind you where you are on the long road away from home.

Independent musician/songwriter/composer from Chicago, IL.
