Dogs on Shady Lane / NAWAL / Lady Beetle

Description

**Dogs on Shady Lane** is a Brooklyn-via-Providence based indie rock band that has grown into its true form. Blending elements of indie folk and slow-core, the project pulls inspiration from an array of artists including Big Thief, Sylvan Esso, & Feist. Songwriter and guitarist Tori Hall began Dogs on Shady Lane in 2018 as a solo project with ever changing arrangements and rotating collaborators. Through the Providence music scene, diy touring (with different musicians at every show), and a dedicated music scene at SUNY Purchase, the project has many past lives. The core lineup now includes longtime bandmate Evan Weinstein (guitar/synth/vox), Calder Mansfield (bass/vox), and Grace Goss (drums). While Hall maintains the writing and creative freedoms of a solo project, the full band brings the songs to life through collaborative arrangement. The 4-piece band is known to create a dynamic yet intimate live show, playing in both RI and NY scenes. After gaining attention from the 2022 single Cole St., Dogs on Shady Lane released their EP “The Knife” in 2024 on Lauren Records. The debut EP introduced a heavier guitar-driven sound, which had not been heard in earlier singles. Since then, the band has played festivals including SXSW and Treefort Fest where they opened for This Is Lorelei & Star Cleaner Reunion. w/ NAWAL and LADY BEETLE
