PLAYING OUTSIDE THE SANDBOX...
The BEACHDOGS are a veteran band that plays good-time music. What's that?
Rock. Blues. Power pop. Alt Country. A little Reggae. Some originals. Whatever amuses us and our audience.
Good harmonies. Weird-ass song choices. Audience participation. Dancers dancing. Lots of laughing.
Whatever it takes for good times. (Check our set list.)
The BEACH DOGS Band only play stuff we like. And that seems to make people very happy. So they stick around all night. (Or day.)
BEACHDOGS will make YOU happy, too. Woof. (FWIW, There are a dozen free downloadable tunes on this site. More available too.)
Check out some of our "Live At The Seminole Coconut Creek Casino" tunes below. Not too many. We don't want to waste your time. (More videos and goodies below that)
If you want a thumb drive or CD (yes, they exist) with more music, let us know.
To book BeachDogs, call Rik at 954-290-1845.
email beachdogband@yahoo.com or gigs@beachdogband.com...or just holler real loud.
We're responsive. And fun.

Good Time Music.
"We really enjoyed Friday at Spanx the Hog. Sandy was into it. Many thanks for thinking of us and giving us your playlist. We ended up staying up to 6 am that night to listen on YouTube each item. Some extremely interesting. I noted the group and other nice details. Learned a lot. Left about 10 I could not find initially to the next day. Will comment in a different message. Congratulations on Pepper in my Shaker.
Glad I got clear view of the drummer." --Mario
“Not the typical bar band crap. Their songs are cool.” --Sandy A.
