TRACK DOGS

Track Dogs have spent the last couple of years barnstorming the UK with some major festival appearances and collaborations. 2023 has seen them release their third album in 18 months, debut at Glastonbury and perform at The Royal Albert Hall with Show of Hands. 

Well-established in Spain where they are based, they are surprising UK music lovers with “Sun-shiny songs thriving on dark themes behind irresistible rhythms.”
 
The two Irishmen, one Englishman and an American (Garrett Wall, Dave Mooney, Howard Brown & Robbie K. Jones) whose artistic names derives from the dark subterranean world of New York's subway system, celebrate 17 years together in 2023 with 10 albums under their belts, including their most recent release "Blind Summits & Hidden Dips", an album that grows on the work that has opened so many doors for the band.

What they're saying about "Blind Summits & Hidden Dips";

“Track Dogs play jukebox hits for the apocalypse… If you were looking to mark your card for the end of the world party; head to wherever Track Dogs are playing; for they surely will be playing. Squeeze in at the bar, drink up and thirst no more.”
Americana-UK.com 7/10  

“You can make the journey from Laurel Canyon to twelve-bar blues (with a twist) from one song to the next…‘Blind Summits & Hidden Dips’ is packed with inventiveness and surprises around every hairpin bend; you won’t get bored with this anytime soon.
” musicriot.co.uk - ****  

“Their latest album flits from the country-rock of Cover Your Tracks, the brass-boosted Way Of Things and the funk of Blues Brother. Top that all off with a stonking cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Rhiannon alongside Spanish vocalist Lu Garnet” 
Daily Express - ****  

“The good news from this latest release, Blind Summits & Hidden Dips, is that their musical smörgåsbord is as varied as ever, arguably even more so, while the bad news is… Well, there is no bad news…the lyrics and music of Blind Summits and Hidden Dips also reveal a depth and complexity on repeat listens. Sometimes what is revealed can be deadly serious, and sometimes it shows they’re a band with a finely tuned sense of humour; two Track Dogs for the price of one, I’ll settle for that.” https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/09/track-dogs-blind-summits-hidden-dips/

“The band’s tightness is exemplified in So Much Dust, which demonstrates the band’s rich vocal harmonies and strong sense of melody. A memorable original…reflected on human existence: A song for our times.”
Robert Trussel, Kansas City Theatre.

““Groovy” is not a word I often use in this column, but that’s just the adjective I need to describe Madrid-based Irish band the Track Dogs. The band’s music is, like the band of ex-pats, an eclectic cultural crossover.
The Irish Echo, New York

“This band turned out to be a total discovery, with vocal harmonies on a par with groups like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, America or the most melodic style of, for example, the Eagles mixed in with the graceful irreverence of The Pogues.”
Renacer Eléctrico Music Magazine, Spain

“Their lively, melodic music has a strong American/Latin sentiment, a strong sense of fun and an abundance of sunshine”.
Folkradio.co.uk

“Superior Americana…joyous stuff”
Hot Press, Ireland

“Never in danger of overstaying their welcome”

Russ Chandler is well known around the folk scenes of East London and Essex.

His repertoire ranges far and wide from traditional ballads through Cockney music hall songs and monologues, Edwardian parlour music and old-timey banjo tunes to the most up to date of contemporary song writing.

All performed with his warm, open voice and skillful playing on guitar and banjo.

In addition he is a promoter and one of the driving forces behind the Walthamstow Folk Club.

"With the kind of honesty in his voice that would make Billy Bragg blush, Russ Chandler digs up folk roots everywhere from Andy Warhol's New York factory to Bob Marley's Jamaica. via war-torn 19th century Crimea obviously" - Simon Berridge, Scratchy records

"...not only a talented musician and singer, but he also seems to know every obscure folk song ever written. It's a Joy to behold when he switches from a sea shanty one minute to a random 18th century folk tune. Plus: extra points for banjo playing" - Waltham Forest Guardian

Alex Garden and Ford Collier come from Somerset, but have played up and down the country their own blend of original folk music with an impossible big band sound!
