1 "Your recreation of music, photo sets, and style are amazing, what a truly dedicated tribute band. Proud that we influenced you in such an intense way, we are truly honored, humbled and proud!!!" - Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart Created in 2003, DOG N BUTTERFLY is dedicated to bringing their talent and love of Heart s memorable music of the 70 s & 80 s to the stage with unequaled accuracy and musical skill. With their dynamic stage show & retro- inspired costumes, Dog N Butterfly takes the concept of Tribute to a whole new level! Fronting the band is vocalist Lizann Warner whose portrayal of Ann Wilson is both eerie and un-paralleled. Her un-canny Ann-like voice has not only earned her praise from the actual members of Heart, but also landed her several tracks on video games including the popular Activision game: Guitar Hero III, singing Heart s hit Barracuda, as well as Magic Man on Konami s Game: Rock Revolution. Lizann's credits also include TV ad jingles like the current commercial for Sandals Resorts [ My Blue Heaven ], airing on all major networks including: CNN, FOX NEWS & CSNBC. Lizann is joined on stage by Desha (pronounced "De-shay") Dunnahoe a music major from Cal State University of Long Beach who is not only a fluent multiinstrumentalist on both electric and acoustic guitars, but is also a gifted composer and orchestrator who teaches young music students for the city of Long Beach's unified school district. Lizann and Desha are joined by a power-house line up of stellar musicians who create the look and sound so closely to the band HEART, that even Heart s founding members Ann & Nancy Wilson and original guitarist Roger fisher have praised them for their authenticity. As the ultimate Heart tribute, DOG N BUTTERFLY has performed on stages through the U.S. and has even had the honor of performing with Heart's original members; Roger Fisher and Steve Fossen! They ve been featured on the KTLA Morning News, playing LIVE in studio, and were recently featured artists on AXS TV's popular show; WORLD'S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS, and their entire concert was broadcast LIVE from the world-famous Wiskey A-Go-Go in Hollywood! And even world-famous rock jock "Uncle" Joe Benson from KLOS had this to say after witnessing one of their performances: Dog 'N' Butterfly are one of the best tribute bands I d ever seen eeow!!! Dog 'N' Butterfly performs Heart s biggest hits and delivers them with an electrifying stage show that harkens back to the days when rock concerts were a major event! Audiences everywhere agree they truly are THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TO HEART!
