Dog Tags:

Dog Tags is a band built around friendship, community & acceptance. Dog Tags is music for besties, baes & kindred spirits. Songs that start as friends and grow into something more. A neo-soul, jazz, r&b, & post-pop collective blooming in Denver, CO. At their core, Dog Tags is still the duo they started as; anchored always by the sensual, latin/bossa guitar work of Michael Merola and the breathtaking “you HAVE to hear them live” vocal acrobatics & songwriting of Regi Worles. Their camaraderie & musicality together is undeniable. In the last year, Dog Tags have folded in friends & collaborators (drums, keys, trumpet, saxophone, more guitar!) playing with varied lineups, styles & setlists, making each Dog Tags show a magical event. Magical like the way you feel after a really good potluck. The kind where you talked deeply with new & old friends about stuff that matters. The kind that makes you appreciate good hosts who make good food, houses with good light & plants, and uplifting jams humming in your head as you wander home through Cheesman Park.

Seeing Dog Tags live is to witness real, live friendship in all its brilliant, technicolor action. Their songs and their live set are special; not just for their tight, fresh, exciting musicianship, but for the life-changing message they carry. That the way to change the world starts with our individual, interpersonal relationships. Platonic, romantic, familial, ecstatic. Love & acceptance, radical & essential. Dog Tags urge & encourage the listener to change the world one friend at a time. The song that started quietly is swelling now. Regi’s falsetto is gentle yet demanding; the kind of voice that can change minds & hearts, helping us all grow & bloom together.

“See me / everything that I am / everything that I’m not / & everything that I want to be…”
