Track Dogs

“Sun-shiny songs thriving on dark themes behind irresistible rhythms!” “If you were looking to mark your card for the End Of The World party, head to wherever Track Dogs are playing…” Americana UK Made up of two Irishmen, an Englishman and an American, the band create their own unique brand of acoustic music - a veritable 4 x 4 of voices and instruments identified by the fusion of styles which include Americana, Latino, Folk, Bluegrass and (whisper it..) Pop! Taking festivals such as Shrewsbury, Glastonbury, Wickham and Northern Kin (to name a few) by storm with their dynamite live shows, the band will be touring their 11th album “The Essential Track Dogs: Tracks Laid, Tracks Covered” featuring the best of their originals and cover tracks plus some brand new songs and reimagined versions of already existing tracks. 2025 will see the release of Track Dogs' 11th album, but this one is a little special. The Essential Track Dogs; Tracks Laid, Tracks Covered will be a double CD featuring the best of their originals and cover tracks (“La Banda”, “The Deep End”, “Man of Constant Sorrow”) plus some brand new recordings (“Amor De Mi Vida”, “Ruby”) and reimagined versions of already existing tracks like “Donna Lola”. With their 20thanniversary coming up in 2026 this is a perfect time to reflect on where they've been, where they are now and more importantly, where they're going. www.trackdogsmusic.com
