Marvin
& The Dogs CD: LIVE AT GEORGE'S (2006)
Marvin
and the Dogs cultivated a strong and
dedicated following in Wisconsin and
were one of the hottest
R & B and original bands in the
region from 1979 to 1985 largely due
to the
unique chemistry of talent, experience
and personality each member brought
to the group. In 1985, the band members
went their separate ways to explore
other musical and business opportunities.
Original members include Marvin Dykhuis
who now plays lead guitar in limited
performances with Tish Hinojosa, freelances
on guitar and other stringed instruments
in Austin, TX while also acting as
producer and studio session man. Richard
Holly (harmonica, guitar and vocals)
is still very involved with music and
has earned higher educational degrees
in
his other profession of electronics
and computer science. Mark Paffrath
(drums and vocals) has pursued music
in several successful duos, one of
which was with fellow “Dog” Richard
Holly in the duo Paffrath & Holly.
They released a CD together and still
do occasional shows. Mark also performs
regularly as a solo in the region and
has released two CDs. Good friend and
bass player John Redmann remained very
active in many area bands and took
over the management and ownership of
his
family’s inn in the Door County
resort area of Wisconsin until he was
lost in a tragic accident late in 2003.
In the Summer of 2006, the group released
its first full length recording “Live
at George’s” recorded
in the Fall of 2003. It
contains many band favorites - originals
and covers - capturing the flavor and
feel of their 25 year history. It is
a lasting memento for a core legion
of supportive fans and a tribute and
memorial to their friend John Redmann.
