REVIEW OF THE SKYDOGS
AT THE KINGS PALACE PATIO
(SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2003)
Just got back from the Kings Palace
Patio located on Beale Street and
there’s one word that describes this
band – awesome! From Hendrix to
Rolling Stones, from Stevie Ray Vaughn
to down home blues, these guys can
play anything and everything. And
what’s amazing is these guys do not
APPEARING AT THE KINGS PALACE PATIO EVERY FRIDAY
8:00PM TO 12:00AM AND SATURDAY 9:00PM TO 1:00AM
rehearse.
It’s one fantastic jam session
after another. Each and every song is
solid and tight. It’s unbelievable the
high-powered energy three guys can produce.
Playing to a packed house, everyone has
a great time, young and old. As the night
gets longer, the music from each set just
gets better. Four hours of non-stop high
energy and great music from start to finish.
You will not be disappointed. When you visit
Beale Street whether it be a Friday or
Saturday
night, don’t miss this show. You’ll walk away
feeling 10 feet off of Beale.

THE KINGS PALACE PATIO
Usually, a second review is out of the
ordinary for me because I
like to be spontaneous and
exhilarated from hearing a band’s sound
for the first time. But, after seeing and
hearing SkyDogs perform
tonight, the feelings I felt the first time
came rushing back. I have
another word for this band – incredible. We
arrived in the middle
of the second set and it was awesome to see
an overflowing, packed
house on the patio. People that couldn’t find
a seat were standing
outside the entrance rocking to the music.
And the SkyDogs were
rocking the house tonight! It was great to
see Guy Venable back in
his old spot thumping his bass to draw you
into the music, Rick
McConnell feeling the core of each song and
making his guitar sing
the blues with every note, and Phillip Durham
not missing a beat
with his incredible drumwork that makes you
want to get up and
move. If you have never heard this band’s
rendition of “Voodoo
Child”, you are missing
the most amazing guitar playing ever. It
was so cool seeing Steve Earnshaw sitting in
on bass a couple of
songs with Guy joining in on vocals. The
ultimate would be Lyn
Jones backing up on harp and seeing the five
of them together on
stage producing a sound that would make
everyone on Beale Street
stop and listen. How awesome would that be!!
There’s one thing
that makes this band stand out from the rest;
not only can these
guys play, but they play with their heart and
soul. You just can’t
get enough of their sound. SkyDogs have the
cure for anyone that’s
feeling the blues.
