$10 Door Cover Charge
"Big Head Dog has been rocking the Carolinas for nearly 20 years. Drummer Fred Miller and guitarist Paul T. Baker started playing together in their ECU college days. Singer/guitarist Chris Kelly joined the group and soon after saxophone/keyboardist Anthony DiBona and bass player Steven Jackson completed the band. And joining us for our first performance at the Rusty Nail is Oak island’s own Ronnie Weinstein on keyboards and vocals.
Since the beginning Big Head Dog has been thrilling audiences with their high energy, good-time dance boogie rock and roll shows and renditions of the best rock songs ever written. You won’t soon forget your night with Big Head Dog!"
