Byron Daniel and the Five Dead Dogs was formed on the porch of a house on the banks of the Blood River. The goal was to create music that combined the culture and landscape of Southeast Louisiana. We've come to call this sound "Rural Infused Sweat Rock." What is RISR? It is a combination of classic rock, country, R&B, funk, psychedelia and other modern sounds that permeate today's airwaves. The band formed around Vocalist and Guitarist Byron Daniel - soon came Drummer Christian Colonna, Guitarist Clay Wilson, Bassist Monroe White, and Keyboardist Andrew Ates. This combination of unique, high-caliber talent has made this band an electrifying live music experience for anyone who loves - and lives - rock n' roll.
