Let The Dogs take you on a ride through one of the most epic rock catalogs of the 1970s with Elton John’s smash hits like Bennie and the Jets, Tiny Dancer and Crocodile Rock to deeper cuts like Funeral for a Friend, Madman Across the Water, All the Girls Love Alice, Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters and many, many more. No tracks. No tricks. Just a killer rock band delivering a dynamic, ALL-LIVE performance every night (with that extra sauce that comes from an authentic, live show). Just like Elton and his band.
Although he’s often been told he looks and sounds like ‘70s-era Elton John, John Gore formed Dogs of Society with the idea that Elton’s songs (not costumes) should be the star of the show. Featuring an incredible lineup of accomplished musicians including John Gore (aka Elton Juan), Steve Johnston (guitar), Louis Michael (keyboard, accordion, guitar), Curt Shaw (bass guitar) and Dave Johnson (drums), Dogs of Society will blow you away with their authentic rock ‘n roll tribute to the one of the most celebrated musicians in rock history.

Jesus Jones are back – but to be strictly accurate, they never actually went away. Jesus Jones first came together back in 1988, and their distinctive brand of sample-heavy pop found an instant, and receptive audience. Throughout the early ’90s the band enjoyed phenomenal success, particularly in America, where their single “Right Here Right Now” rose to number one, and their second album Doubtsold over a million copies. They played the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, supported INXS at Wembley Stadium, and performed to a quarter of a million people in Brazil.
