HIGH HOPES
DeeOhGee
Three is a magic number for these groovy Nashville cats. Er, sorry, dogs.
“That energy of old blues and letting it rip, that’s for us.”
IF YOU’RE LOOKING at the photo and thinking that you recognise the members of DeeOhGee, you might well be correct. Formerly known as Blackfoot Gypsies, the band have reconfigured, and the Nashville trio – Matthew Paige on vocals/guitar/banjo, Zack Murphy on drums, and Dylan Whitlow on vocals/bass/keyboards and more – return with a moniker that tips a cap to a term in Waylon Jennings’s Waymore’s Blues. “We’d been looking for a name, thinking dogs are cool, then Dylan came up with it,” Paige says with a laugh. “It’s a little homage to that music and time that we’re heavily into.”
