Great Celtic Music Alert!

2008-07-23T14:18:29Z

We here at Cooldog just had a fabulous weekend - the Irish band Slide
([link]) played their 2nd US gig here in Delaware to a very
appreciative sold-out crowd. We extended it a bit with a fun session at
Sheridan's in Smyrna on Monday evening, where several local folks
enjoyed swapping songs and playing in with these great musicians.

Friends,
This Sunday's show featuring Irish band Slide is now *sold out*.

Friends,
First, I want to wish you all a happy, healthy, and not-too-wet July
4th. It's looking like rain, but hey, my plants aren't looking so
good... Let's hope all the parades and fireworks go off without a hitch.
Cooldog has a great summer lined up - starting a bit late, though. We

Friends,
We've been kind of quiet - decided to take off the month of June after a
very busy spring. We've been enjoying the end of school, beginning of
camp, and a Little League season that keeps going and going due to all
of the postponed rained out games... Ah, but now on to the MUSIC!
We've turned the upcoming season into *Cooldog Celtic Summer,* and we

The Refugees at Cooldog Concerts in Delaware this Sunday!

2008-04-17T11:23:03Z

Next up at Cooldog are the Refugees! This band is very new, but has 3
very experienced professional musicians. Their collaboration has really
been a hit in the musical circles - so much so, I'd recommend you get
your RSVP in for this show - you may not be able to see these ladies in
a venue this intimate again. They'll be touring in the mid-atlantic again:
