The Bros. Landrethare two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg, known for their blend ofguitar-driven, soulful, blood harmony roots music. The band, the core of which consists ofbrothers Dave and Joey Landreth, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience fortheir heartfelt songs, inventive musicianship, and powerful performances. From their early daysattending their father's gigs as babies ("Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us underthe bar tables," says Dave), the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs, theatres, andmusic festivals across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, including stand-outperformances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads GuitarFestival in Los Angeles. In 2023, a banner year for the band, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt’s cover of their song, Made Up Mind (from their firstalbum, Let it Lie), earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognitionwas a fitting nod from oneof their musical heroes, as their own music draws inspiration from thewell-worn records of their childhood—Bonnie Raitt's blues, Little Feat's funky country-rock, RyCooder's eclectic instrumentals, Lyle Lovett's twangy traditionalism—culminating ina soundthat salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present.Drawing on the energy of their recent live shows and a newfound sense of creative purpose,The Bros. Landreth returned to the studio for their fourth full-length album,Dog Ear.This recordcaptures the spontaneous and collaborative spirit of their touring band, which includes drummerRoman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver, and marks a new, more effortless approach tosongwriting. The band describes the album as a deeply personal and emotionally resonantwork, exploring themes of family and the quest for stability amidst the itinerant life of a touringmusician, and says it's "really about trying to figure out what it means to be a consistent force inthe lives of the people youcare about." With songs like the title track written for their children,the album captures a raw and focused energy in the studio, featuring a handful of magical firsttakes and special collaborations with pop vocalist Begonia, keyboardist Glenn Patscha,and apowerful guest vocal performance from their longtime hero, Bonnie Raitt, who appears on twotracks (Knuckles, Half Moon Eyes). The band ultimately hopes, “Maybe something on thisrecord will get stuck in your head, or take root in your heart... Maybe, just maybe it’ll work itsway into some little useful corner of your life, in the way that songs sometimes can do.”
