Lou Merola, Guitar

Founding member of The Watchdogs, Lou Merola has played literally hundreds of gigs with numerous bands and artists. He has received critical acclaim for his work on the Tri-state music scene with the bands Sundown, Scarlet, Starburst and now The Watchdogs. An unschooled guitarist, Lou’s playing is all about feel… and his passion for life and music can be heard in every note. In 1994 he and longtime friend – and founding Aerosmith member - "Crazy Raymond" Tabano formed The Watchdogs, which led to opening slots for numerous national acts, and brought out many rock luminaries… who all came out to howl with The ‘Dogs.

Larry Rosky, Drums

The ultimate session drummer, Larry Rosky has been a fixture on the Westchester music scene for the past 25 years – playing with numerous jazz, R&B, blues and rock bands. Larry also toured with The Cordellis Review at the age of 19. He first met Lou Merola in 1990 while playing in the Top 40 show band Starburst. Larry has his dog-tags as an original member of The Watchdogs, having been brought on board by Lou and Raymond in 1994.

Brian Cady, Keyboards

Brian has been a fixture on the NYC music scene, playing throughout the 90’s with the bands Radium Blues and Mr. Lucky. He re-connected with schoolmate Lou Merola in 1997 for The Watchdogs first New England tour, and has remained on board ever since – in addition to playing with the Orange County jazz band The Fraidycats.

Jay Fee, Bass

Jay has been laying down a solid bass line for Lou for over two decades. A founding member of Sundown, he recruited guitarist Lou Merola into the band in 1978 - and a close musical and personal relationship was formed. In fact, they’ve been playing together in one form or another ever since, including time spent in Scarlet. Jay joined The Watchdogs in 2003 and has quickly become the heart of the band – ably filling the shoes of departing bassist and founding member "Crazy Raymond" Tabano.
