Dawg Yawp was the indie-folk duo Tyler Randall and Rob Keenan, who incorporated electronic backbeats, loops, and dramatic bursts into what otherwise would have sounded like fairly traditional folk songs. They then added a sitar on top of it just to make things more interesting. The effect was fairly striking and unique that did not sound gimmicky in their hands whether they were performing blues, rock, bluegrass, or country songs. Randall and Keenan made these pieces work well with one another so that teh music did not feel out of place or experimental. One effect that listening to their work had was that one could not help but wonder why sitar has not already become a major instrument in bluegrass all these years.
