These Rock 'n' Rollers Grew Up To Be...

Business Professionals in Their Day Careers, Yet for These Not-so-youngsters Rock Has Never Died.

- Cary Ordway

A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker — well, okay, the Waterdog family only has the butcher and baker, but this popular local band also boasts so many different professionals, we could host our own Career Day at Wenatchee Valley College.

But let me back up a minute — you haven’t heard of Waterdog?

The band’s emphasis on fun, nostalgic 60's, 70's and 80's rock and roll has won it gigs like the Wenatchee Fourth of July Celebration, local high school reunions and the recent New Year’s Eve spectacular at Pybus Market. In addition the band plays often in Chelan and Leavenworth and at many NCW festivals and events.

With band members aged between 44 and 72, there are some impressive musical resumes attached to the group’s six members. But what’s really interesting is that our business resumes look pretty good, too. Attending a Waterdog practice is a little like holding a Rotary Club meeting with musical instruments.

Take drummer Greg Wright, past president of the Washington Realtors who has also served on the Board of Directors for the National Realtors.

Now Managing Broker at Nick McLean Real Estate Group, Greg’s a church-going family man with seven kids who is caring for an eighth. Don’t know if you could say all that about Mick Fleetwood.
