Rueben deGroot is kicking open a new chapter with The Black Sheepdogs, a rock ’n’ roll outfit built for late nights, loud amps, and floors that shake. This debut project channels everything deGroot does best—timeless vocals, punchy hooks, and a fearless, full‑throttle energy that feels both nostalgic and brand new.
The Black Sheepdogs deliver the kind of rock show that doesn’t ask for permission: raw, melodic, a little unruly, and impossible to ignore. It’s the sound of a band ready to make its mark and have a damn good time doing it.
Catch their first-ever show at The Toucan on Friday, January 23rd, taking over the stage from 10:30pm until 2am. If you want a night that hits hard and keeps you moving, this is your invitation to run with the pack.
