This South Carolina based rock group has shared their raucous sound with rousing appreciation and incredible support from fans all over the Southeast and beyond.STARDOG is made up of some of the most dedicated and talented musicians in the region. Each player has a history in the music business and influences from A-Z. Lead vocalist Artie Joyner pours in the soul and vibe while guitarist Beau Long creates a sonic palette of Les Paul tone. Raz lays down the bass thunder and Jayson Moore delivers the knockout percussion concussion. Keyboardist Mark Foy pulls it all together to form one heavyweight arena rock band. These guys deliver the goods in an old school vibe with a modern twist.
Their debut EP, Black Mountain Rain, is available now on iTunes. Songs like the title track "Black Mountain Rain" showcase the bands hard revving roots in rock and roll conjuring up visions of Black Country Communion, April Wine and even some early 70's Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. All done with the sonic blast of modern edginess.
