“In
the beginning, there was Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez” the original
drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band
Vincent
"Vini" "Mad Dog" Lopez (born January 22, 1949,
Neptune, NJ) is an American drummer. Between 1968 and 1974, Lopez
backed Bruce Springsteen in several bands, including Steel Mill and
the E Street Band. He also played on Springsteen's first two albums,
Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent and the E
Street Shuffle. His unique style on albums has influenced generations
of musicians around the world. After leaving the E Street Band, Lopez
went on to play drums with numerous Jersey Shore bands, including The
Lord Gunner Group and the Downtown Tangiers Band with Bill Chinnock.
In
April 2014, Lopez was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as
a member of the E Street Band. Away from his music career, Lopez has
worked as a golf caddy.

Veteran
Blue-Eyed Soul Singer & Songwriter Paul Whistler's musical career
started as a kid singing Doo-Wop in the streets of New Jersey. Then
traveling the world playing keyboards for The Shangra-Las. To the
beginnings of the Jersey Shore Music scene. Then on to the Pacific
Northwest ...and Coast To Coast... leading some of the smoking-est
R&B Bands in the country while writing & singing some of the

Long
time New Jersey musician Jon

Gary
Cavico (sometimes billed as “Gary C”) was brought up in Point
Pleasant, NJ and has been playing and singing blues and roots music
at the Jersey Shore since the mid 60's. He's been in many bands,
written and recorded many songs and has played with and been
influenced by many musical legends. A talented guitar player, he was
introduced to playing in bars at the young age of 13 (with a false ABC
card) and filled in for guitar players, honing his soulful sounds and
guitar licks that he uses to this day. It was during his young years,
he dreamt of either becoming James Brown's guitar player or the
Welterweight boxing champion of the world (Cavico was also an AAU boxer
during this time). Soon, he was introduced to the Asbury area brand
of blues...Bruce Springsteen, Steve VanZant and Rick Desarno...and
soon found himself playing with some of the greatest blues players of
that time. In 1984, he formed his own blues band, Stone Blue (formerly
Voo Doo Bag), continued to play with some more great musicians, moved
around, honing his skills and circled back around to re-form Stone
Blue, which he plays with today.
In
2015, Gary was inducted into the NJ Blues Hall of Fame.

A
Former Member of Asbury's legendary Blackberry Booze Band,
Whistler and Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez have been playing together in
popular Jersey Shore acts such as Whistler & The Wheels and The
Asbury All Stars since the 70's. Upon his return to the Jersey Shore
in 2014, Paul and Vini saw it was the right time to put their years
of experience together to launch Dawg Whistle. Their breakthrough
performance at Light of Day 2015 alongside acts such as Bruce
Springsteen, Willie Nile, James Maddock and Joe Grushecky was well
received by critics and fans alike...
