In Their Words: “Each of the three members of Tone Dog has a unique musical background outside of bluegrass, ranging from grunge to jazz, the Dead and beyond. Though we each come from a different musical perspective, what we all share is a love for the oral/aural tradition and lineage of fiddle music. The web of connections and interpretative journeys make these tunes resonate in a special way. Simply put, ‘Salt Creek / Gold Rush’ is a mash-up of our favorite fiddle numbers. We’ve maintained the essence of what makes these tunes special while shredding them as hard as we can, just like we do live. This is our ode to the pure velocity of flatpicking, the storied past of the fiddle tune and the unknown future of bluegrass music.” — Alex Graf, Tone Dog
