Named after the maintenance teams that work the NYC subway system Track Dogs are a four piece acoustic act based in Madrid, Spain. Made up of two Irishmen; Garrett Wall (Vocals/Guitar/Ukelele/Piano) & Dave Mooney
(Bass/Ukelele/Vocals), Englishman Howard Brown (Trumpet/Vocals/Percussion) and Cleveland, Ohio native Robbie K Jones (Cajón/Banjo/Vocals
Formed in 2007 the band cut their teeth at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival playing 27 shows in 7 days. Their sound is unique in their use of cajón (flamenco box drum) instead of drums and trumpet as opposed to electric guitar and this combined with four part harmonies gives them a fresh take on traditional folk/indie-pop stylings.
The band are getting ready to kick 2013 off with a new EP of three songs; 1. “Dust Devil“; 2. “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)“, a reworking of the 1972 US hit by Looking Glass , which was also covered by The Chilli Peppers, and 3. “Take My Word“, a quirky track featuring ukelele.
