A string band from Santa Barbara, led by Peter Feldmann, "The Scragg Family", became the Red Dog's house band for the summer and fall of 1967.
The Red Dog Saloon was once owned and operated by Producer, Director and Cinematographer, Virgil E. Hammond, III from 1987 to 1990 and under the new name of the Longbranch Saloon. The Red Dog was the original name in the 60's and 70's until removed due to the violence in which the name brought. A truly historic time. Today, it still stands and has reclaimed it's original name of the Red Dog Saloon.
