Top 5 Feature: Sun Dog Knights

 

We are the band Sun Dog Knights. An Obetz, Ohio and greater Columbus Central Ohio based hard rock and metal band.


We have been described by Ronnie Hunter of 99.7FM  THE BLITZ radio station as “Big Guitar Rock.”


We see and hear a void in music for what the classic good-time rock 'n' roll party band used to be, and we want to fill that void. 


We want people to leave our show exhausted and happy, having had a great time.


We began in 2021 during the COVID pandemic, with just Cody and myself (Garratt) writing and recording demos in my basement. We wrote music that felt good to us, that we had fun playing, and that we were not hearing on the radio. 


Late 2023, we added Adam to the mix, and in the Fall of 2024, we started playing out in small venues.  


June 2025 we played our first professional paying gig at The King Of Clubs in Columbus, Ohio—thanks to Ricky Wolf taking a chance on us and inviting us onto their "New Music Movement" line-up.


From there, it has been a rocket ride of performances that have taken us out to Yellow Springs, Ohio and to Delaware, Ohio, expanding our sphere of influence.
