“Drop the Dawg” is a trio of musicians who mix acoustic newgrass, pop, jazz and gospel. Invited to play at the first Michiana Mennofolk festival in 2002, the experience was so successful the three just kept on pickin’.
Jim Shenk is a luthier from Goshen, Indiana who is responsible for most of the guitar work as well as dobro, pedal steel and vocals. Duane Gundy, a general contractor from Shavehead Lake, Michigan, handles the mandolin, guitar, bass and vocals. The trio is completed with Mike Hoover, a computer programmer from Goshen, performing on bass, keyboards, flute and vocals.
We encourage you to enjoy our music the way we do, without pretense or pressure to perform the prevailing pessimism! “Dawg On”!!!
