Lost Dog Street Band
Bio
After a successful run with the release of his 2022 solo album, Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing, Lost Dog Street Band leader Benjamin Tod considered retiring the long-running trio and focusing his efforts elsewhere; that is, until he realized he’d been subconsciously writing new music for his dark country trio that fans have loved for over a decade now. “After recording my solo album, I looked over all the songs that I had ready for a new record. These were songs for my band,” Tod remembers. “I had to admit to myself that I wasn't done with Lost Dog.”
What does that mean for Lost Dog Street Band? For starters, Tod—along with his wife Ashley Mae (fiddle), Jeff Loops (upright bass), Ben Duvall (drums), and Tebbs Karney (pedal steel)—will hit the road hard in 2024 with an expanded band lineup. “I am excited to share our new full band on the road. “Adding Ben on drums and Tebbs on pedal steel opens me up so much for expression,” says Tod. “I’ve had to hold back so much the last few years in hindsight. Being able to really pull back on my guitar playing allows me to focus in on my vocals. It helps when I’m on stage now that I can actually feel the music and get into the music being played.”
The band will kick things off in Detroit, Michigan, on April 18th, 2024, before anearly month-long tour throughout the Midwest and down the East Coast, ending the run in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 12th. A full list of tour dates can be found below and at lostdogstreetband.com.
