Old Dog New Trick began as a father-son duo with singer/songwriter Bruce Thorndike and his son, Mitch Thorndike on lead guitar and vocals playing pubs and bistros along the lower Connecticut River valley. Later they brought in the extraordinary jam bassist Paul Emmerling, Jr. to form the nucleus of the band. Their following expanded when they added the talented Abe Wilson on drums. And finally, in 2016 their sound was complete when they were able to score the renowned Geoff Cox on sax and flute. In addition to a wide range of original songs, ODNT interprets classic rock and blues songs, roots, alternative, and R and B ranging from Van Morrison, The Band and the Allman Brothers to Amos Lee, Zac Brown, Grace Potter and Phish.
