Dr. Dog joins host Raina Douris

In 2021, Dr. Dog announced they were done with touring. Some fans thought they’d never hear from the band again but now, three years later, they’re back with a new album. On the next World Cafe, lead singers Toby Leaman and Scott McMicken play a stripped-down set of the new songs and talk about what the break meant for each of them and how it has changed the band’s creative process.

Listen to the session here.
