Tailored to Your Venue or Event
We play all your favorites from the 60's through the not-too-distant past. While we sometimes spend a lot of time in the 70's, these old dogs still manage to learn a few new tricks every now and then.
Need something on the low-key side, Jeff and Ken have the vocals, guitar and keys covered with The Salty Dogs Duo.
If you want a little more, Sal will kick it up a bit with his drums as The Salty Dogs Trio.
About the Dogs
You've probably seen us playing around Bluffton and Hilton Head Island as solo acts, or part of other bands and ensembles. We each bring something a little different to the group, so you'll hear songs you don't often hear around the low country.
Jeff Ziech - Vocals, Guitar and Harmonica
You may have seen Jeff withTrain 102 Grateful Dead, or bringing his authentic blues guitar and harmonica to Sweet Forgiveness and the Chi-Town Ramblers. Jeff brings a love for classic rock, influenced by The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton and The Beatles.
Ken Lucas - Vocals and Keys
In addition to playing with Jeff in Train 102, you may have seen Ken's solo act performing a mix of classic ballads, cocktail piano or classical music. Ken brings the traditional piano man favorites from Elton John and Billy Joel along with other classic singer songwriter favorites. You can also find Ken playing in the Hilton Head Big Band and the country band "Gone Country".
Sal DeMarco - Drums
A former New Jersey All-State Jazz Drummer, Sal still gigs with the 60's Gretsch kit he bought in high school. He has a knack for bringing just the right vibe and emotion to kick things up a notch. In addition to managing Ken's tendency to push the tempo, Sal's fine-tuning his ability to get Ken and Jeff to sing songs they wouldn't normally try. Sal also plays with several jazz ensembles and with Ken in Gone Country.
