Live from a Mile High

Live from a Mile High is the latest from Benjamin Tod and everyone’s favorite band, The Lost Dog Street Band. This collection of some of his best works to date recorded live in Denver. The album is available for streaming now on all platforms.. via 30 tigers.

Included in this playlist are some amazing covers. Tod puts a new twist on some classic tunes by the late Townes Van Zandt and Billy Joe Shaver.

I agree wholeheartedly with a statement I once heard , when Zach Welch covered one of Lost Dogs songs, September Doves..

It’s probably one of my favorite bands in the world, they’re so good- Zach Welch

To be honest I had only touched the surface of this band prior to hearing that statement by Welch. I was more impressed to dive in after a fan at a Vandoliers concert was wearing a Lost Dog Tee shirt.

This newest release would be a great starting point for anyone who likes the darker side of music.

Not a fan of Bro Country? Lost Dog is your band.

The fiddle and bass and the heart wrenching lyrics and sound keep me coming back time after time..

Survived

Is it true? Has the Lost Dog Street Band Survived its 2 year absence? When Benjamin Tod released the bands 2022 album, Glory, he thought it time to throw in the towel on his project and make it a go on his own. After releasing his solo album he felt a little different. Disappointed that he couldn’t be sharing these songs with his band.. the dark country blend The Lost Dog Street Band.

New development and just a little over 5 days in recording the Lost Dog Street Band plans to release Survived as soon as April 26th.

That day is personal to me for my own reasons but it’s definitely going to be a special one this year around with fresh lyrics from Tod and the band and the very same night I’ll find myself at Floores to celebrate my love at a Blackberry Smoke show.

Hubbardville store, the latest release off the new album drops today.

Riot Folk

Today I am listening to Zach Welch’s latest EP “Live From Aggieland” the song that has caught my ears is September Doves originally by the Lost Dog Street Band. September Doves was written by Benjamin Todd. Zach Welch and Robert Herrera perform the song well.

Zach Welch is one of my favorite artists in this modern age of Texas Country and Red Dirt music. He calls his brand of music “Riot Folk.” Zach’s tunes speak to me. His music has gotten me through some pretty rough spots in my life and I can relate to what his songs say. I got to visit with Zach briefly through a live stream on Twitter several months back. I was going through my breakup and not sure what the next move was to be. I had lost some of my own passions, hopes and dreams and Zach encouraged me to keep on moving forward. He is one of many who encouraged me to keep on writing. Zach let me know that some of his greatest songs were written in the exact same scenarios of his life that I felt so troubled and ashamed about.

Zach Welch calls Forney Texas his home. His first album 254 days is full of great tunes that still give me shivers to listen to. This man puts his emotion into each song. His next album Punchy Shirts & Broken Hearts is much more of the same. Punchy Shirts & Broken Hearts is that album I was talking about earlier, the one that made me feel like I wasn’t alone. People go through dark places and the light will always shine through on the other side. His wisdom through his words gave me hope and they still do today. I mean who else likes a sad song when they are feeling blue? 301 Productions signed Welch to their label and he just keeps on turning out heater after heater. His song Ada is one of the saddest songs he has to date. It is such a relatable story. I think we all know the girl he sings about in this song. Not to mention the giant guitar rifts that accompany Zach’s vocals.

I believe in Zach Welch Music I hope if you haven’t heard it, you will take a deep dive into some of his songs. Maybe you too can find yourself and find comfort through his music.

Pancho.
