About Blue Prairie Dogs

Dan Oved is a singer, songwriter and founder of the Blue Prairie Dogs. Since 1991 the band has played original spicy western and country rock music. They also cover classic country, western and an eclectic variety of popular songs from Jimmy Buffet, Beatles, Eagles, blues, old times folk for example. Dan recently branched out to include campfire favorites to entertain young folks and he regularly invites kids and adults to sing-a-long. Dan Oved is available to perform solo, duo, trio or full 4 or 5 piece band. Dan says, “I truly enjoy entertaining audiences young and old. Music has always enriched my life, I played piano and violin throughout my k-12 school years. Eventually I found my passion for music was further inspired through guitar playing, song writing and singing harmonies with band mates. Music critics accurately describe my music as "cheerful, articulate and engaging", while others feel my music is "colorful, clever and humorous". Lol, I'm happy to agree!”

Dan added a lot of energy to the birthday party and brought back lots of memories of music from the 60s and 70s. It was a wonderful evening!

Dan and another musician played as a duo at our outdoor fundraiser in January! They were very cordial, punctual, professional and everyone enjoyed the music, very easy to work with!

We hired Dan and Pete for our HOA Christmas party. Dan was very professional and easy to work with leading up to our event and tailored their performance to our 55+ demographics . Both Dan and Pete are very talented. They put on a great show from start to finish. We would highly recommend them !

From beginning to the end, Blue Prairie Dogs were excellent. They were quick to respond to messages, showed up on time, well priced, and are truly excellent musicians!

The band worked with us to provide the music enjoyed by the birthday guest and the evening was enjoyed by all who attended. We were very pleased with the entire evening.

We celebrated our 10 Year Anniversary for our local business and hired Blue Prairie Dogs to come play for the event, and boy did they play! Originally our budget was enough for a Duo (Dan and Pete) to come out but they showed up with a third band member who wanted to come out just for the joy of playing, they were awesome! The party was a success and the music was a big part of that success, everyone enjoyed their performance and loved all the tunes they played that evening. I would highly recommend and would definitely hire again for future events!

This group is great! The music was so much fun to listen to, and we even danced a bit (very tired from our show). One of the people in the audience also plays similar music in venues and he loved them!

Dan was just right. He was pleasant, punctual and courteous. He read the crowd and chose a great set of songs. He’s an excellent musician. I’m so grateful I found him. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

I highly recommend Dan Oved and the Blue Prairie Dogs. They sang the songs I wanted for our party and sounded terrific. The guests all said they were great. Give them a try and see for yourself.

Smart and responsive. Worked with me to find the best music for my father’s memorial.
