THE BLACK BOX New England Artist Series presents The Love Dogs this Valentine's Day for a special night out. Take one red-hot horn section, add liberal amounts of barrelhouse boogie-woogie piano and stinging Fender guitar, pour over a funky and swinging rhythm section that Blues Review magazine called "the best in the business," and top it all off with a crazy and charismatic front-man with one of the biggest blues voices around. Season with a few years on the road tearing up juke joints, festivals, and concert halls across the U.S. and Canada and on both sides of the Atlantic.It's a recipe for music and mayhem, for intensity and irreverence; it's The Love Dogs.

THE BLACK BOX features a full bar. The venue is located at 15 W. Central St. in downtown Franklin, MA. For tickets and more information, visit www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com or call the box office at 508-528-3370.
