Introduction
Dan Oved is a singer, songwriter and founder of the Blue Prairie Dogs. Since 1991 the band has played original spicy western and country rock music. They also cover classic country, western and an eclectic variety of popular songs from Jimmy Buffet, Beatles, Eagles, blues, old times folk for example. Dan recently branched out to include campfire favorites to entertain young folks and he regularly invites kids and adults to sing-a-long. Dan Oved is available to perform solo, duo, trio or full 4 or 5 piece band. Dan says, “I truly enjoy entertaining audiences young and old. Music has always enriched my life, I played piano and violin throughout my k-12 school years. Eventually I found my passion for music was further inspired through guitar playing, song writing and singing harmonies with band mates. Music critics accurately describe my music as "cheerful, articulate and engaging", while others feel my music is "colorful, clever and humorous". Lol, I'm happy to agree!”

We celebrated our 10 Year Anniversary for our local business and hired Blue Prairie Dogs to come play for the event, and boy did they play! Originally our budget was enough for a Duo (Dan and Pete) to come out but they showed up with a third band member who wanted to come out just for the joy of playing, they were awesome! The party was a success and the music was a big part of that success, everyone enjoyed their performance and loved all the tunes they played that evening. I would highly recommend and would definitely hire again for future events!

Details: General event / party • 76 - 100 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Vocals • Guitar • No preference • Oldies • Rock / classic rock • Country / bluegrass • Outdoors

This group is great! The music was so much fun to listen to, and we even danced a bit (very tired from our show). One of the people in the audience also plays similar music in venues and he loved them!

Two members of the Blue Prairie Dogs arrived early to set up and began playing/entertaining my guests within a few minutes. I did not have sufficient space for an entire band, so this was perfect. They played songs I had requested in advance and then finished with a song that one of my guests shouted out! Everyone enjoyed their performance, great vocals and beautiful guitar accompaniment. I would highly recommend this group and would hire them again. Thank you, Dan & Pete! My guests raved about you, they loved the songs and in case you didn't notice, they were singing along. Thumbs up!

Dan was just right. He was pleasant, punctual and courteous. He read the crowd and chose a great set of songs. He’s an excellent musician. I’m so grateful I found him. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
