Doghouse is a powerhouse new blues-rock band based in France, blending the grit of ZZ Top, the fire of Rory Gallagher, and the soul of Stevie Ray Vaughan with the finesse of Jeff Beck. Fronted by British guitarist/vocalist Steve Kilpatrick and American vocalist/keyboardist Anikó Tóth, the band delivers high-energy performances rooted in classic blues rock traditions with a modern edge.
