"We are excited about this year's Holiday Extravaganza, " said Finchman. "We began the annual event three years ago in appreciation of our fans, to have a good time and as an excuse to play great music surrounded by family and friends. It is amazing how our following has grown since then." Conceived and delivered on Ocracoke Island in 2002, the Dune Dogs' rural blend of hard-core country and southern rock 'n' roll prove that a lack of talent and professionalism are not necessarily impediments to good vibes and the "humble endings" of a DUNE DOG experience.
