DeeOhGee is the new chapter in the story of a band of brothers who’ve now been through it! Emerging on a fresh platform to share their unique blend of great American music. Formerly touring under the name “Blackfoot Gypsies”, they have dropped the old name but kept the same spirit. A spirit arising from a life dedicated to Rock-n-Roll. The group established a loyal fanbase across the US and Europe while releasing a catalog of music documenting their journey. After going through inevitable changes over the course of hundreds of shows and thousands of miles – it only felt right to start a new book, with a sharper sense of who they are and what they’re doing.
They will be assisted by Of the Dell from Huntington, West Virginia
