The Salty Dogs bring their blend of feel good country music to the Arkansas Educational Television Network Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 6:30 p.m. in an episode of "AETN Presents: Front Row."

The Salty Dogs, hailing from the streets of Little Rock, include: Brad Williams, vocals/guitar; Bart Angel, kick and snare/percussion/backing vocals; Brent LaBeau, bass; and Nick Devlin, lap steel/guitar.

The Salty Dogs have shared the stage with Hank Williams Jr., Kelly Willis, Jim Dickinson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Moot Davis, Pete Anderson, The Gourds and Junior Brown and recently recorded with rock-n-roll legend D.J. Fontana.

Among their albums are "Autoharpoon," release through Big Bender Records/Hapi Skratch Entertainment in May 2007; "The Salty Dogs and Friends" LP; and "King of Broken Hearts" EP.
