Dogs on Shady Lane is a Brooklyn-via-Providence based indie rock band that has grown into its true form. Blending elements of indie folk and slow-core, the project pulls inspiration from an array of artists including Big Thief, Sylvan Esso, & Feist. Songwriter and guitarist Tori Hall began Dogs on Shady Lane in 2018 as a solo project with ever changing arrangements and rotating collaborators. Through the Providence music scene, diy touring (with different musicians at every show), and a dedicated music scene at SUNY Purchase, the project has many past lives. The core lineup now includes longtime bandmate Evan Weinstein (guitar/synth/vox), Calder Mansfield (bass/vox), and Grace Goss (drums). While Hall maintains the writing and creative freedoms of a solo project, the full band brings the songs to life through collaborative arrangement. The 4 piece band is known to create a dynamic yet intimate live show, playing in both RI and NY scenes. After gaining attention from the 2022 single Cole St., Dogs on Shady Lane released their EP “The Knife” in 2024 on Lauren Records. The debut EP introduced a heavier guitar-driven sound, which had not been heard in earlier singles. Since then, the band has played festivals including SXSW and Treefort Fest where they opened for This Is Lorelei & Star Cleaner Reunion. They’ve also spent some time in the studio. Dogs on Shady Lane is set to release their debut full length album Knots in fall of 2026. The 8-song album highlights the projects’ evolution and fuses together their harmony fueled acoustic side with heavy guitar and synth sounds heard in “The Knife.” It is a culmination of what the project has been working towards over the past 5+ years.

Slow Caves is a rock band from Colorado, consisting of Danish-American brothers, Jakob and Oliver Mueller, and their childhood friend David Dugan. After signing with Old Flame Records in 2016, they released their debut EP, Desert Minded, in early 2017. The following year they released a double A side picture disc, Poser/Rover. The band spent the next three years touring extensively opening for bands like Third Eye Blind, Briston Maroney, Cold War Kids, Modest Mouse, Matt & Kim, Cake, Rooney, DIIV, The Kills, and performing at festivals like SXSW, Velorama, The Underground Music Showcase, and Treefort Music Fest. In 2019, they released their first full length record, Falling, which was recorded and produced by Chris “Frenchie” Smith at The Bubble in Austin, TX. From 2020-2023 the band released two singles, Walk In The Park and Before I Leave, and took some time off from live performances. In 2024, Ben Eberle joined the band on drums, they released a new EP, Tension, and returned to live performances nationwide. They released two more singles in 2025 and are currently recording their second full length album.
