$18 ($15 adv.).
media release: Dark country trio Lost Dog Street Band will perform at the Majestic Theatre on March 11 in support of new album Glory, released earlier this year to positive coverage from Billboard, American Songwriter, Glide Magazine, Holler. and more (Anti-Corp Music). Stream the album HERE.
Glory sees the Kentucky-based outfit going back to basics, channeling the band's time spent riding the rails and busking to get by, swapping out the drums and pedal steel of their recent work for a stripped-down sound that leaves the band's hallmarks at the forefront. Tackling reflection and redemption, the record is anchored by singer/songwriter/vocalist Benjamin Tod's stirringly untreated vocals, cerebal lyrics and his life partner/violinist/vocalist Ashley Mae's emotive string stylings.
“As they move into a stage where they can no longer define themselves according to what they oppose, Lost Dog Street Band are starting to make the most lifelike music of their career.” 8/10 – Holler.
Even after seven albums, Lost Dog Street Band's humble beginnings and DIY ethos still inform the music they make, and it’s that authenticity that resonates with so many fans — selling out dates in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and more. The band’s hauntingly beautiful music resonates even deeper in a live setting, as they lay their raw emotions bare for an enthusiastic and engaged audience. For a small preview, watch the group’s moving performance of album track “Jalisco Bloom” on Western AF HERE.
A masterful storyteller, Tod has a gift for writing confessional music with unflinching honesty. He pulls the listener in on tracks like "Until I Recoup (Glory I)", a tale about seeking justice and gaining back your glory, a common theme throughout the aptly-titled record. With a January + February run of 2022 dates already under their belt, the band is ready to embark on their Heartland Tour for another set of shows that are guaranteed to be both deeply affecting and emotionally rewarding.
