THE DIRTY SHOES BAND

Meet the Band

Doug Krause: Piano and Vocals
Doug Krause has been a professional musician and composer for over twenty-five years. His characteristic writing and performing style comes from years spent moving between the pop/rock, blues, and country genres as well as classical music. A small town boy from the plains of Kansas, he had a natural affinity for the music of the heartland but quickly discovered that the blues and southern rock suited his piano and singing style perfectly. His influences include Little Feat, Bruce Hornsby, The Band, and Dr. John.
Ken Robinson: Bass Guitar, Vocals
Ken has been a member of Colorado bands for over 30 years, and prior to moving to Denver he played progressive hard rock in the midwest and Top 40 in the southeast. In the early 80s, Ken toured with Denver-based rockers Bystander. He has also played with original alt-rock band Big Junior, rock'n'roll legend Bo Diddley, blues guitar great Jim Schwall, blues harmonica virtuoso Clay Kirkland, variety dance band Deja Blu, The Long Run, Colorado's Tribute to the Eagles, and many other projects. Musical influences include James Jamerson, Mel Schacher, Gregg Philbin, Jack Bruce, Sir Paul McCartney, and John Entwistle.
