Dogs on Shady Lane

Dogs on Shady Lane is a band based in Providence, Rhode Island, led by singer-songwriter Tori Hall. Their music has some similarities to Faye Webster's in terms of its relaxed tone and the looseness in Hall's vocals. They have a way of conveying a similar sense of melancholic contemplation, though they do this in a way that leaves space for some alt-rock bursts that spring up in their songs. Some of their songs adopt slightly jazzy undertones as well. Hall's delivery may also bring to mind the delicate vulnerability of Adrianne Lenker, except their music does not carry the same emotional weight that is characteristic of Big Thief's catalog.
