On Saturday, 11 January 2025, Doom Dogs delivered a brilliant, nearly two-hour performance at Kelly’s Logan House in Wilmington, Delaware. The crowd was every bit as eclectic as the band and everyone appeared to enjoy the warmth of the inside with the perfect soundtrack to begin 2025.

The 5-piece band played several long instrumental sets that included bells, saxophone, bass, flute, drums, hand drums, keyboard and shakers. The band did not disappoint and set the mood for the rest of a killer night.
The night ended with Doom Dogs captivating the audience with their unpredictable sets. DD who are a genre-free improvising band that consists of Reeves Gabrels on guitar, Jonathan Kane on drums, and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells on bass and stick. Doom Dogs brought all their collective blues, jazz, rock, punk, experimental, and minimalist influences to create a mix of sound unique within the world of music and to this snowy night, as the trio improvised songs that will never be performed again which gave it a unique experience and it grasped every bit of attention you had. It was a an amazing way to end the night.
