JUNO Award-winning Winnipeg duo The Bros. Landreth announce their forthcoming album Dog Ear, out November 14, 2025 via Birthday Cake Records. Anchored by the lead single “I’ll Drive,” co-written with Grammy-nominated songwriter Jonathan Singleton, the album showcases the band’s collaborative spirit, lush instrumentation, and signature harmonies. Alongside themes of connection, refuge, and self-reflection, Dog Ear features special collaborations, including the legendary Bonnie Raitt on the heartfelt track “Knuckles” and alt-pop powerhouse Begonia on “Strange Dear,” offering listeners an intimate yet expansive journey.
“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.”
“I’ll Drive” was written with longtime friend and collaborator Jonathan Singleton during the band’s 2025 trip to Nashville. “The idea is simple—throw your cares aside and take a long drive with someone you love,” The Bros. say. The track is one of four songs born from those sessions.
Ahead of the album release, The Bros. Landreth will appear at Europe’s largest guitar event, Guitar Summit Festival in Mannheim, Germany, before heading out on a U.S. tour during release week. The Bros. also share two February 2026 dates in Denmark. More dates to follow.

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.”
