Bossydog's vision is to prove that a band does not have to be loud to be good. Our group collectively has thousands of performances under their belts. Our lead singer Cassie just placed in the top ten of Chicago's Got Talent. Our Bass player played with Chicago's own Shadows of Night. Our drummer was with the popular Roy Orbison tribute band, Roy and the Orbitz.
If you are looking for good time music than we are your band! With a wide variety of Classic and Country Favorites we know how to work with the crowd to help them have a great time. Once you've seen us you'll be coming back for more. Just remember the main ingredient for any party is.....Bossydog!
The music was awesome! Unfortunately, we didn't have the turnout we had hoped for but those that were there, we all LOVED the show! Great job Bossy Dog! We hope to see you again for our next event!
We had them entertain our membership for a tournament event! They were fantastic! They were professional, very responsive and so helpful! Our members had a great time and were dancing on the bar! Thanks again for an fabulous evening!
I hired Bossydog to play at our annual Labor Day party and could not have been more pleased. Bob was very responsive to communications in the weeks leading up to the event. He and his band mates were very flexible in working within the physical space restrictions of our location (uneven ground, etc). Our crowd loved them, and I don't think a single person left the party for the three hours they were on stage. Lots of people dancing and singing, and I can say with confidence that absolutely everyone enjoyed themselves. I received nothing but compliments on Bossydog's performance for the rest of the weekend. I would not hesitate to hire Bossydog for any future events that I have and to recommend them to friends and family.
Had them at an outside party and the band was very good and professional. Enjoyed the music and guests did, too. Would highly recommend.
I hired Bossy Dog on Saturday, November 24, 2012. They were great, we had people of all ages. Bossy Dog had songs that my parents loved, My dad said they rocked LA BAMBA. The birthday boy, my husband loved Black Sabbath songs. My husband jammed with them. I work for the States Attorney Office, so it was thier professionalism that impressed me.They send me a contract with prompt replys. I was nervous and their professionalism put me at ease. I would recommend them to anyone.
Response from Bossydog:
Thanks for the great feedback! We also enjoyed playing for your party!
Bossydog played at Odyssey Authentic Greek Taverna in Lombard,IL and they rocked us all night long. They were very organized and played the songs the way they were meant to be played. Our patrons were dancing and having a great time. They are a very versatile group and they even played some requested songs. We hired them immediately for more shows and will continue to do so.
Bossydog played at John & Tony's in West Chicago, IL and they rocked the house. They have a great range of songs and do them all well. I hired them back again and will continue to do so monthly.

Bossydog is the Midwest's premier party band consisting of four seasoned musicians who have thousands of performances under their collective belt. Our goal is to keep the fans up and moving to songs from the 50's do-wop favorites to rock and disco. Some artists we cover include: The Beatles, Elvis, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dwight Yoakum, Willie Nelson, Brookes & Dunn to name a few. Our audiences are dancing and tapping their toes the whole night long.
Bossydog is a group of musicians who believe that a band does not have to be LOUD to be good. Our combination of well mixed 4-part harmonies and music bring the songs to life.
