He loves island music as much as he loves rock 'n roll.

Tony's Caribbean experience is obvious in the genuine island feeling he brings to the music. It's one thing to try and learn some tropical tunes. What makes these guys different is that they truly understand the grooves. In fact,
TJ has even invented some ... hybrids like Ska-Funk, Fatback Mambo, Chabolero, Skasanova, and the ever popular
Funky Calypso, the title of their live double album. (See Discography)

The careers of these musicians cover a lot of territory ...
Florida, California,
the Northeast and Mid Atlantic regions - from Boston to
the Chesapeake Bay.The Virgin Islands, The Mediterranean,
Gig-wise, the group size changes to fit the situation:
solo-duo-trio for small or low-key events ...
four to six pieces (or more) for a bigger sound.
Depending on the line-up, the band plays:
guitars
conga drums
bass
trap drums
flutes
Latin percussion
saxophones
keyboards
harmonicas
pretty much anything that might be layin' around...
and everybody sings.

So, pick up a pair of maracas, and shake those things.
You'll find the music of Down Island Dogs ... infectious
From the first few bars, it moves you.
