American hard rock supergroup The Winery Dogs is a collaboration between Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, Poison/Mr. Big frontman Richie Kotzen, and Mr. Big/Niacin lead bassist Billy Sheehan - voted "Best Rock Bass Player" five times in Guitar Player readers' polls.
The powerfully pedigreed trio first exploded onto the Rock scene in 2013 with a burst of collective chemistry, delivering strum and headbang, to propulsive uplifting vibes and introspective acoustic harmonic convergences.
