New Album, Dog Ear, out November 14, 2025 via Birthday Cake Records

North American album release shows in 2025, followed by an extensive European & UK tour in 2026

Lead single “I’ll Drive” – Listen Here + Watch the band play it live

JUNO Award-winning Winnipeg duo The Bros. Landreth release “Knuckles” from their forthcoming album Dog Ear – out November 14, 2025 via Birthday Cake Records. “Knuckles” features a beautiful and emotive featured vocal from one of the band's musical heroes, Bonnie Raitt.

The Bros. Landreth grew up listening to and adoring Raitt's music in their childhood home. The artists initially connected after sharing a bill at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and some ten years later Raitt recorded her own version of one of their songs called "Made Up Mind." That version won a Grammy for Best Americana Performance in 2023. It feels like a full circle moment to have her iconic voice now on The Bros. Landreth's new album.

Dave Landreth says of the song, “Some relationships will stand the test of time, but a lot don’t. Even the good ones can dissolve, fall apart, drift away. Knuckles is about the idea that sometimes being a punching bag is the last kind thing you can do for someone, when it’s easier to let yourself take all the lumps than to ask the other person to face things that they aren’t ready or willing to.”

Dog Ear explores themes of connection, refuge, and self-reflection with guests like Raitt (“Knuckles”, “Half Moon Eyes”) and alt-pop powerhouse Begonia (“Strange Dear”) offering listeners an intimate yet expansive journey. The album is fueled and informed by the band’s live shows and the many hours they’ve logged sharing the stage together. That is the energy they tried to bottle.

“These songs kept circling back to ideas of refuge—a lighthouse, a shoreline, a dog-eared page to hold your place,” The Bros. share. “They’re tiny prayers for who we want to be for our children, and hopeful ideas about who they might become for their own communities.”

The band will mark the release of Dog Ear with a string of U.S. shows in November 2025, before embarking on the Tumbling Wild Tour in early 2026. The global run kicks off in Paris on February 13 and includes stops in Berlin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, and London’s Union Chapel, among many others.

About The Bros. Landreth

The Bros. Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg, known for their blend of guitar-driven, soulful, blood harmony roots music. The band, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs, inventive musicianship, and powerful performances. From their early days attending their father's gigs as babies ("Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us under the bar tables," says Dave), the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs, theatres, and music festivals across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, including stand-out performances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. In 2023, a banner year for the band, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt’s cover of their song, Made Up Mind (from their first album, Let it Lie), earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhood — Bonnie Raitt's blues, Little Feat's funky country-rock, Ry Cooder's eclectic instrumentals, Lyle Lovett's twangy traditionalism — culminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present.

Drawing on the energy of their recent live shows and a newfound sense of creative purpose, The Bros. Landreth returned to the studio for their fourth full-length album, Dog Ear. This record captures the spontaneous and collaborative spirit of their touring band, which includes drummer Roman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver, and marks a new, more effortless approach to songwriting. The band describes the album as a deeply personal and emotionally resonant work, exploring themes of family and the quest for stability amidst the itinerant life of a touring musician, and says it's "really about trying to figure out what it means to be a consistent force in the lives of the people you care about." With songs like the title track written for their children, the album captures a raw and focused energy in the studio, featuring a handful of magical first takes and special collaborations with pop vocalist Begonia, keyboardist Glenn Patscha, and a powerful guest vocal performance from their longtime hero, Bonnie Raitt. The Bros. ultimately hope, “Maybe something on this record will get stuck in your head, or take root in your heart... Maybe, just maybe it’ll work its way into some little useful corner of your life, in the way that songs sometimes can do.”
