The Bros. Landreth Announce ‘Dog Ear’: A Soulful New Album Rooted in Family, Connection, and Honest Storytelling
LISTEN HERE
Canadian roots-rock duo The Bros. Landreth—brothers Joey and Dave Landreth—have become known for their soulful blend of blues, Americana, and guitar-driven storytelling, earning international acclaim since the release of their debut album Let It Lie. Their breakthrough moment came when Bonnie Raitt covered their song “Made Up Mind,” winning a Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year and shining a global spotlight on the band’s rich songwriting and musicianship. Over the years, they’ve built a devoted following through their singular chemistry, virtuosity, and heartfelt, finely crafted songs.
With their new album Dog Ear, The Bros. Landreth open a bold and deeply personal chapter. Inspired by the camaraderie and spark of their live lineup—rounded out by Roman Clarke, Murray Pulver, and Ian Phillips—the record captures the immediacy of a band playing in full trust and full flight. Written during a period of new parenthood, shifting priorities, and hard-earned emotional clarity, the album explores themes of family, presence, and what it means to stay grounded when life keeps you moving. Recorded largely through spontaneous, instinct-driven sessions, Dog Ear is their most band-forward and intuitive work to date, featuring honest performances and special guest contributions from Begonia, Glenn Patscha, and two striking vocal appearances from Bonnie Raitt.
The album’s focus track, “Vincent,” is one of its most affecting moments. Written by Dave Landreth, the song paints a vivid, compassionate portrait of someone who is fearless and magnetic yet unable to change, grow, or move forward. Built from fragments of real people Dave has loved, “Vincent” wrestles with the bittersweet tension of caring deeply for someone whose stagnation begins to cause harm. Blending tender vocals, understated production, and the duo’s signature emotional depth, the track stands as a powerful showcase of Dave’s storytelling and one of the album’s defining emotional touchstones.
With Dog Ear, The Bros. Landreth bring together everything that has shaped them—from the Bonnie Raitt and Little Feat records of their youth to the lived experience of being touring musicians, fathers, and brothers. It’s an album rooted in connection, crafted with heart, and offered with the hope that its songs might find a meaningful place in the lives of the people who hear them.
