Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.


The Dollyrots are Kelly Ogden on vocals and bass and Luis Cabezas (head) on guitar, with Justin McGrath on live drums. 


Their most recent release is Down The Rabbit Hole, a 24-track collection of B-sides, rarities, and cover songs with a Dollyrots twist. The diverse collection features songs from throughout the band’s 20-year history, remastered and including previously unheard tracks and alternate takes.


The band recently released a new 7” limited edition pink vinyl release in partnership with indie label juggernaut Cleopatra Records. The Dollyrots transform a soft rock classic, “Alone Again (Naturally)” originally recorded in 1972 by Gilbert O’Sullivan, into a fun, fist-pumping punk rock anthem! That track is backed with an original song entitled “That’s Not Even All,” which highlights the band’s double threat as both arrangers and writers!


The trio has hit the Billboard Heatseekers chart multiple times, been featured in movies and television, and have shared stages with some of punk’s biggest names. And they are currently working on new music to be released in 2023.


Please welcome lead singer/bassist/and songwriter Kelly Ogden of my new favorite group… THE DOLLYROTS to Interviewing the Legends
