My Dog Bill crafts heartfelt, free-spirited Alternative Rock with various songs rooted in Folk, Funk, Reggae, and Americana. Each member fortifies performances with unyielding musicianship and zeal radiating positive vibes, sonic dynamism, and bona fide joy into people's lives. The band's musical evolution revolves around inspiring the masses with their music and mindset. 2015 will always prove My Dog Bill's well-deserved victory party.

Since reconnecting via Facebook in 2013, My Dog Bill has embellished its song catalogue while playing Greater Philadelphia venues like The Rusty Nail, The Legendary Dobbs, The North Star Bar, Doc Watson's Public House, and MOJO 13 with fine local artists like: Three Fourteen, Chronic Wolf, The Tommy Froelich Trio, Mesa Jane, Sacred Cube, Emergency Brakethru, and RaLeaf. Additionally, bands like SuperMonkey and Sunshine Riot asked My Dog Bill to join the bill when each tour came into town, and radio programs 93.7 WSTW's Hometown Heroes, WCHE 1520 AM, PLM Radio, and the Live at the Nail Radio Show featured My Dog Bill songs, promoted, and will interview/interviewed the band. Working with charitable organizations forever beats at the core of My Dog Bill's melodic mission. The band played the 5th Annual Spring Festival in Trainer, PA with other local artists Second Place Champions, SynnerG, and Anthony Caserta of Boy in Black to raise money for the town's community center. The guys will perform at Fennario's, Freddie's Tavern & Grille, XO Lounge, and Live @ Bo's in Millsboro, DE during the summer months with additional shows in the works, competed in Gorilla Music's Battle of the Bands, and reached the finals that will be held at The World Café Live Philadelphia.
