Please consider your reservation request a commitment to attend. If you are coming with others, make sure they are on the same page with you before you book.
Bring your dogs???
Unless your four legged friends have been here and are friends with our dogs, it would be best to leave them at home. They will be happier and so will we.

We originally discovered Sugarcane Jane...Savana Lee and Anthony Crawford...when we first heard the Southern roots super-group, Willie Sugarcapps, one of our very favorite ensembles. (Savana and Anthony are two of the five members of that group which tours sporadically.) We noticed that the couple had their own musical project and after checking them out, we have been fans ever since. We have observed their schedules frequently over the last several years and it seemed like they usually stick pretty close to home in Alabama...maybe sneaking up to Nashville or Atlanta every once in a while. Turns out Bob Teague, who books at Natalie's in Columbus has been trying to get them up north for some time, and finally succeeded. We are so excited that we managed to get them to drive a couple more hours up to the North Coast for a show in our Gallery.
Anthony Crawford had the kind of career that most artists only dream about. The "Forrest Gump of the music business" is what is often joked about in the Crawford house. From the age of 18 after graduating high school in Birmingham, Alabama Anthony went from Opryland to the Grand Ole Opry w/Roy Acuff, to being on tour with Sonny James, Neil Young, then Steve Winwood, Vince Gill, and Dwight Yoakam. He's had appearances on Hee Haw, Austin City Limits, Live Aid, Farm Aid, Showtime, the Late Show with David Letterman, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Today Show, Grammy Awards Show, made music videos (Wonderin-Neil Young, Gone-Dwight Yoakam as well as his solo videos), been in movies (Heart of Gold-Neil Young, Neil Young Trunk Show-Neil Young, Blackhawk DVD). He's played on stage with Paul McCartney with Neil Young at Hyde Park.
Savana Lee was raised along Alabama’s Gulf Coast and although she's ventured off at times (New Orleans, Nashville), the coast is her home. While living in Nashville, she spent time writing and performing at the world renowned Bluebird Cafe, Broken Spoke, and Douglas Corner. Savana’s dreams of being an artist were temporarily sidetracked while co-owning and managing a well-respected vintage analog studio in Nashville, Deepfield Studio. Deepfield Studio recorded many major label artists, including Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, Bruce Cockburn, Emmylou Harris, Lee Anne Womack, Keb Mo, and most importantly, Anthony Crawford.
Savana met Anthony while he was recording his own tracks at Deepfield Studio. He recruited her to sing a few demos for him and they began an everlasting friendship. “I was an immediate fan of Anthony’s writing and musicianship. I fell in love with him as an artist and then as a human being. He is an amazing person and my soul mate.” Creating harmonies typically heard only from siblings the two decided to record their first album together, Redbird. The couple escaped the hectic life of Music City and is now raising a family in Alabama. They have devoted fans in the South and a recording business that allows them to stay close to their home and children.

Olivia Millerschin and Her Band
"Our Holiday Show"
"If you're not already familiar with her music, you should absolutely start listening immediately. Millerschin is a wonderful talent who brings an amazing storytelling quality to each of her songs. Trust us when we say that you should make a point of seeing her perform live. You won't regret it." Matt Giles
We have had the pleasure of experiencing Olivia Millerschin over the last three years and are contiually amazed by her songwriting and vocal abilities which meld classic Americana with contemporary jazz and pop. Still only 23 years old, she is already a seasoned pro...starting with her appearance on America's Got Talent to touring nationally for the last several years. Olivia is sweet, funny and charming...her music however, is rich and mature beyond her years.
Olivia recently had her biggest show to date headlining at the historic Masonic Hall in Detroit. Despite the glory of that event, we know Olivia will be looking forward to the intimate vibe of her fourth appearance here at Riverdog. Her Holiday Show has become a Riverdog tradition. If you haven’t seen her yet, come and see why we are so high on her prospects.
Olivia and her band of talented merry men will present two lively sets consisting of an equal mix of Olivia's original songs, jazz standards and music for the holidays.
What a wonderful way to wrap up the year!
..........................
Olivia has also written a children's book based on her song "Cactus on a Ledge" and it should be available at the show. (Illustrations by Kathrin Honesta and the book includes a CD of the song.) Seems like a perfect gift for a young reader/music lover!

Lula Wiles
Smithsonian Folkways album release tour
Lula Wiles is a band deeply rooted in traditional folk music, but equally deep is their devotion to modern songcraft. They deliver love songs that are at once defiant and heartsick, as well as new contributions to the folk ballad canon and timely explorations of what it means to live in America today. Drawing from the deep wells of traditional old-time and bluegrass, classic country, and contemporary indie-folk-rock, Lula Wiles melds diverse influences to create a harmony-driven sound all their own. The three band members deftly swap instruments and frontwoman duties, each contributing singularly expressive vocals, instrumental lines, and songwriting. Onstage, the band gathers tightly around a single microphone for a spirited and emotionally resonant live show, anchored by their powerful three-part harmonies. Currently based in Boston, Lula Wiles released their debut album in May 2016.
Ellie Buckland (vocals/acoustic guitar/fiddle)
Isa Burke (vocals/acoustic and electric guitar/fiddle)
Mali Obomsawin (vocals/acoustic guitar/bass)
"This album is a stunning collection of self-penned songs about love, loss, and drinking – the perfect blend of modern and timeless. From rich swells of fiddles to powerful honky-tonk guitar, all anchored by rocking bass, this album delivers one gem after another. In an age where so much music feels trite and phoned in, Lula Wiles emerges with their own unique blend of honest lyrics and gorgeous singing. Do yourselves a favor and listen to this record. Or better yet, see a live show." – Aoife O'Donovan (I'm With Her)
Lula Wiles was signed by Smithsonian Folkways and their second album is scheduled to drop on January 18, so Riverdog will be among the first venues to host an album release show for this exciting young band's sophomore album:
