Dr. Dog is a multi-dimensional music group hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Finding their footing since forming in 1999, the band credits their unique sound to a cocktail of diverse influences, ranging from iconic 60’s rock acts like The Beatles and The Beach Boys to more niche, lo-fi indie folk sounds.
Comprised of Toby Leaman, Scott McMicken, Frank McElroy, Zach Miller, and Eric Slick, Dr. Dog creates harmonically rich and lyrically captivating music that straddles the lines between psychedelic rock, baroque pop, and indie folk. They’re known for their enthralling live performances and their ability to collectively assemble a catalogue that blends various genres while remaining cohesive and distinct.
Spotlight tracks in their repertoire include “Where’d All the Time Go?”, a wistful, philosophical musing on the passage of time, “Heart It Races”, their popular cover that hits the sweet spot between eccentric beats and danceable rhythm, and “That Old Black Hole”, a jaunty, infectious tune with lyrics that explore existential dread.
At the heart of their music, ethos, and appeal is a sense of realness and undisguised emotion. This makes Dr. Dog a joy to listen to. Their upcoming performance should deliver both a throwback to nostalgia and an embracing of the contemporary - quite the sonic treat for any music aficionado.
