Whelan’s Upstairs • Wed 5th February 2025
“Sun-shiny songs thriving on dark themes behind irresistible rhythms.”
Track Dogs are two Irishmen, an Englishman and an American, (Garrett Wall, Dave Mooney, Howard Brown & Robbie K.Jones), whose artistic name derives from the dark subterranean world of New York’s subway system. If they are still new to you, check out recent releases Where to Now? (2022) and Blind Summits & Hidden Dips (2023) to see why they are so hard to pigeonhole.
Formed in the Autumn of 2006 in Madrid around the eclectic line-up of acoustic guitar, electric bass, trumpet and cajón, over the following 18 years they have added banjo, ukulele and mandolin as well as honing their four part vocal harmonies, now very much an integral part of their “sound”.
Well-established in Spain where they are based, they are surprising music lovers everywhere. After a fortuitous invitation to the Costa Festival in Ibiza in 2018 they teamed up with Firebrand Music in the UK and have been building their reputation as a live band with performances at Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Wickham Music Festival, Beardy Folk, New Forest Festival, Glastonbury, Broadstairs Folk Week and The Gate to Southwell, to name but a few.
2025 will see the band release their 11th album, The Essential Track Dogs; Tracks Laid, Tracks Covered, a double CD of close to 40 tracks featuring the best of their originals and cover tracks from 2011 to 2021 plus some brand new songs and reimagined versions of already existing tracks.
As folks familiar with the band will know, Track Dogs have always dabbled in different styles, from Americana Music, bluegrass, to latino, folk, and even blues. Track Dogs demonstrate that they really play their own genre. What sort of music do Track Dogs play?
The answer is Track Dogs Music.
