Dogs In A Pile Breaks Out Little Feat Cover At Charleston Pour House

Dogs In A Pile returned to The Pour House on Tuesday for their fifth concert at the Charleston, South Carolina venue in the past three years. The Asbury Park, New Jersey-based jam quintet delivered one lengthy set last night that went heavy on covers, including their first performance of the Little Feat classic “Old Folks Boogie” in over 100 shows.

DIAP — guitarists Brian Murray and Jimmy Law, keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan, drummer Joey Babick and bassist Sam Lucid — are in nearing the end of an extensive spring tour that began late last month in Colorado and continues through a series of shows in New Orleans during Jazz Fest. The band kicked off their latest visit to Charleston with the rollicking “Can’t Wait For Tonight,” complete with a “Hell In The Bucket” lyrical quote from Murray, before they dug in on an extended “Nicolette.”

Jeremy Kaplan handled lead vocals on the ensuing “Old Folks Boogie,” which had previously been shelved since June 21, 2024 — a gap of 108 shows. Dogs In A Pile played the cut from Little Feat’s 1977 album, Time Loves A Hero, straight with Law channeling Lowell George on slide guitar. Staples “Little Things” and “Let U Go” followed ahead of an extended cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Let It Grow.”

Next came the first “Andy Greenberg” of 2025. DIAP debuted the song named after dentist and Charleston-based guitarist Andy Greenberg (Runaway Gin, Space Armadillo) during their 2024 run at The Pour House. The five-piece then offered their second-ever performance of the late Ben Schwartzman's “Big Man.”

The Schwartzman-penned composition went unfinished as the band tore into “Spun.” Law, Murray and Lucid vacated the stage amid “Spun” to leave Jeremy Kaplan and Joey Babick to perform a brief duo before they returned to finish the song. From there, DIAP worked a cover of Widespread Panic fan-favorite “Greta” into “6 Little Lies” and then closed the set with their take on Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets.” The recently debuted original “Lazy Susan” was selected for the evening’s encore.
