Bio

Yard Dogs Road Show (YDRS) is a full spectrum entertainment experience that ignites the senses of sound, sight, and soul. This world traveling, self described “hobo cabaret” fuses the classical influences of vaudeville with the modern hard-driving pulse of rock and roll. The show’s dynamic thirteen member cast combines their unique talents of burlesque, sword swallowing, musical magic and more to create a fantasy fulfilling performance.

YDRS is a conceptually leaderless family of friends who love to travel and perform together, creating their own reality in a mad mix of compromise and mutual support.

Hailed as “impressive” (L.A. Times) and “brilliantly choreographed to the beat of a kick-ass band” (High Times), YDRS is more than just a show. The musical circus starts with a parade of high energy colorful characters marching on stage as a corset clad bombshell plays the accordion. Prepare for a cartoon ride through their psychedelic reality as gold-winged goddesses dance, a spaceman soars on guitar and rabbits carry rainbows - all under a confetti filled sky. And this is just the start. Each act is more magnificent than the last building towards a spectacular, awe-inspiring finale of peace and love.

YDRS began in California in 1998 as a traveling jug band. The show’s steady success on the west coast paved the way to tours across the U.S. and Europe. YDRS has performed at several notable festivals such as Glastonbury, Rothbury, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, San Diego Street Scene and many more. Most recently the YDRS was invited to perform with the international renowned bassist Les Claypool on his Oddity Faire tour. Creative collaborations such as this are the backbone of the YDRS values.

Through their brilliant blend of song, music, magic, and dance they inspire love and joy to people throughout the world. Truly a sensational phenomenon, YDRS is an experience not to be missed.
