You ever been floating in the lake, drink in hand, and a guitar riff rolls across the water? It stops you mid-conversation. That’s live music at Dog Days—it doesn’t just play in the background, it becomes the moment. Whether you’re docked out front, wading in the pool, or grabbing dinner with your crew, the music finds you. And it always hits right.

We’ve been putting music on this water since the early ’90s, and these days, our stage is a summer tradition. Local bands, regional favorites, and some serious talent come through our setup every year—and we make sure they’re heard from the top deck all the way out past the docks.

All Summer Long, the Music Rolls

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, you can count on it:

  • Live bands Friday through Sunday
  • DJ sets that turn the pool into a dance floor
  • Acoustic afternoon sets for those slower midweek vibes
  • Big events like holiday weekends and Shootout parties

If you’re floating just offshore or grabbing a cold one with your toes in the pool, you’re in it. The music’s part of the lake.

Our Stage is Front and Center—Just Like the Music

This isn’t some speaker in the corner. Our stage is built for this. Right on the water, surrounded by decks, pools, and views that don’t quit.

  • Upper deck seating for the laid-back crowd
  • Poolside views for the folks who like to float and jam
  • Full sound setup that’s clean, loud, and lake-approved

You’ll feel it no matter where you’re hanging out.

Big Weekends at Dog Days: Add These to Your Calendar

The Shootout

Hands down one of the wildest weekends at the lake. High-speed action by day, and we keep the party rolling long after the engines cool down. Live music, big crowds, and the kind of energy you don’t want to miss.

Summer Concert Series

Every weekend, we bring out something fresh. From 80s throwbacks to Southern rock and laid-back reggae, it’s a mix that keeps the weekend rolling.

Holiday Blowouts

Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day—we go big. Back-to-back bands, DJ sets, cold drinks, and the best party view on the water.

Who’s Playing? Some of Our Go-To Bands

If you’ve been here before, you know some of these names. If you haven’t, trust us—they’ll win you over quick:

  • The Mixtapes – killer ’90s alt covers
  • Chris Weaver Band – soulful, high-energy rock
  • The Cleverlys – bluegrass meets comedy (and yes, they pull it off)
  • Machine Gun Symphony – glam rock and power ballads with a twist
  • Members Only – pure ’80s vibes

We’re proud to bring them back year after year.

Want the Best Spot? Here’s the Move:

  • Get here early. Docks fill up quick. So do patio tables.
  • Bring a suit. You’ll want to hit the pool—especially during DJ sets.
  • Follow us on Instagram or Facebook. We drop the band schedule every week.
  • Stick around. Some of the best shows happen under the lights.

Why Music Just Works Better at the Lake

We’ve got nothing against arenas or theaters, but there’s something about live music with your feet in the water, a cocktail in your hand, and the hum of boats pulling in behind you. People are loose, the sun’s going down, and the band’s feeding off that energy.

It’s not just a show—it’s a shared moment. One you remember long after the weekend fades.

So when the amps fire up and the first song kicks off, you know what to do. Grab your spot, raise a glass, and enjoy the ride.

We’ll see you by the stage.

Cheers, The Dog Days Crew
