Dogs On Shady Lane

Dogs on Shady Lane is an indie-rock band from Providence, RI, and partially based in Brooklyn, NY. Songwriter and guitarist Tori Hall began Dogs on Shady Lane in 2018 as an independent creative exploration. The project has since grown to include Evan Weinstein (guitar/synth/vox), Calder Mansfield (bass/vox), and Grace Goss (percussion) as of 2020. The now 4-piece band is known to create a dynamic yet intimate sonic live show. Blending elements of fuzz rock, folk, and slow-core, their sound is inspired by artists like Big Thief and Crumb.

The band garnered attention for their 2022 single “Cole St.,” which has surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify. Following that success, the band would go on to sign with Lauren Records, and release their debut EP “The Knife” on February 23, 2024. Contrasting some of their earlier works, the 4-song release introduces heavy guitars and moody synth lines, juxtaposed with moments of intimate vocal melodies over subtle textural soundscapes. The record sonically moves in an arc — each song tied to the next through lyrical themes of wound-like loss, traumas, and internal shifts. Recorded at Big Nice Studio in the fall of 2023, “The Knife” was engineered and mixed by Chaimes Parker and mastered by Brad Krieger.
