Dawg Yawp
Dawg Yawp is a folk-based duo that combines sitar, guitar, synth and drum samples alongside beautiful harmonies. Tyler Randall and Rob Keenan are lifelong friends that attended Berklee together, only to return to their native Cincinnati to focus on the project. Their debut EP Two Hearted quickly earned them acclaim and radio play, in addition to festivals like SXSW and national support slots. Their debut self-titled LP, released 10/14/16 via Old Flame Records, has started generating national praise from NPR Tiny Desk Concert to Conan O'Brien's Team Coco, Consequence of Sound, WXPN, KCRW and beyond.

Wholly consistent with their earlier work, the two tracks on “Doubles, Vol. 1" also exhibit new ...

Drawing equally upon threads common to Mumford & Sons, late period Beatles, acid-blues pioneer Little Axe, world music-era Paul Simon, and the good Lord only knows what else, the Cincinnati duo of Dawg Yawp has produced one of those little gems of an album that not only defies easy categorization--but even so much as adequate description. It is, perhaps, music that could only find a niche in a post-retail world--because the staff at Tower or Peaches Records would ...
