The Dogs

Dave Catron has been playing bass guitar as long as he can remember. He has enjoyed a broad and rich career starting in the late 60s with appearances on television, work as a session player, and playing as a touring musician.

While with Vanguard Records, Dave made television appearances on The Real Don Steele Show, Ninth Street West, and Headshop. As a session player contracted by Capital Records, he was involved in sessions for Columbia Motion Pictures. During his association with CBS/Epic and Mercury Records recording artist Michael Fennely, Dave toured with Bad Company, the James Gang, Jo Jo Gunne, Foghat, the New York Dolls, Johnny Nash, Canned Heat, and many others. He also toured with United Artist Records artist Joanne Mackell. That tour included dates with Bill Champlin, the Greg Kihn Band, and Blood Sweat & Tears. Other session work in which Dave was involved included sessions with Joe Lala, Frosty (Lee Michaels' drummer), and Claudia Linnear (Joe Cocker's backup singer). He has also had the pleasure of performing with Mary Wells, Dave Mason, and The Velcros.

Dave brings to The Dogs a very deep and wide musical background that, along with his bass guitar skills, includes solid backing vocals. His precision to detail and inventiveness help give The Dogs their sound.
