ROUTE 66
Tell us your story
September 12-27, 2008:
The Lost Dogs are heading down Route 66, “America’s Mother Road,” in mid-September, 2008, jumping off in Chicago and ending at the pier in Santa Monica, California. While visiting some of the most interesting places in America, their experiences will be captured in music and film. An emphasis will be placed on their various encounters and interviews with the uniquely fascinating people along Route 66. The end result will be an album and DVD that will be charming, whimsical, comedic, poignant, educational, and above all else, fun and entertaining.
You are probably thinking that Route 66 has been “done before,” but this project is set apart by a bold difference. The Lost Dogs are seasoned travelers and musicians, hilarious by anyone’s standards and friendly as all get-out. This project will be nothing without you and to make it happen we need your active participation. Above all, the Dogs are excited about connecting with you and wish to spend time with you personally so your very own very special “stories” can be shared in song with the rest of the world.
The Lost Dogs would like to perform impromptu concerts on street corners, at historical diners and hotel/motel sights, tourist attractions, and campgrounds, and would love to sit down and chat with you over a picnic lunch or some ice cream.
If you live along the route, we would like to let you know when The Lost Dogs will be in your area and schedule a special time to meet with you personally, and anybody else you can round up, so they can learn about your history, both personal and community, and get a “feel” for your spot on the map.
In true Lost Dogs style they are offering fans several unusual opportunities to participate in the experience with them. A GPS unit, provided by BrickHouse Security, will allow fans to go online and watch the bands every move in real-time or even get in their cars, come out and travel along for a few miles. Video blogs will be posted so fans can watch as their experiences are transformed into a musical narrative of the Mother Road.
Fans will also be afforded the chance to get involved with several tour support opportunities. From donating money to have their names included in the credit roll of the DVD, to purchasing items from the tour including the Waterstone guitars the band will use while on the road. The tour will end with a beach party at the Santa Monica pier, where the band will share new songs and clips from the road.
Come join the Dogs lost on Route 66 as the journey becomes the music.
Your participation is vital!

"The Lost Cabin and the Mystery Trees"The new album...
NOW AVAILABLE!
A message from The Lost Dogs, on the new tour and album: ""On behalf of Terry, Derri, Steve and myself, we cannot wait to see and play for all of you again, especially the songs from our wonderful new album entitled "The Lost Cabin And The Mystery Trees". These eleven new songs are a gift from us to you -- we have never stayed up later or worked harder to bring you our very best. We think you'll agree with us that this one is terrific -- another 'classic' along the lines of "Gift Horse" or "Real Men Cry". Real drums (courtesy of Steve H.) Real bass (from the great Tim Chandler) Loud electric guitars (mine and Derri's) Even some loud obnoxious rock and roll (thanks to Terry this time!) Gorgeous melodies and ballads (from all of us). Yes, it's a winner..." - Mike Roe
"Hindalong told me on the phone the other night that this may be the best record he's ever participated on. 'Really?' I said with a laugh. I was waiting for the punch line. It never came. I think he might be right... at least it's right up there. I got teary-eyed listening to the rough mixes when I got back home from Nashville - not because it was sad music, (in fact, a couple of tunes are screamingly funny) but because some great friends had come together and created a true thing of beauty. I hope you guys like it. We worked hard to make it happen, but believe me when I tell you that you're all worth it." - Terry Taylor
"I must say it's one of the best things we've ever recorded. Terry's
telling great stories and writing great songs, Steve, Mike and I also
wrote great songs for the cd. Mike is singing like an angel, I'm still
singing like a girl, Steve is drumming his butt off and keeping us on
track. I've had a great time making this cd with my closest friends. I
hope we keep doing this until we leave this world." - Derri DaughertyTo read the glowing reviews, Click Here
