Benjamin Tod & Lost Dog Street Band

Benjamin Tod brings his country album Shooting Star to Union Transfer on Thursday, October 15, with the Lost Dog Street Band joining him. It's a double bill that puts Tod's solo work and the band's ensemble sound on the same stage, and since he's a central part of both, you'll hear his voice and his songwriting throughout the night.

Shooting Star is Tod's country record, and that's what he'll be playing live. The Lost Dog Street Band plays in the Americana, folk, and country traditions, so the two acts share a lot of the same ground. The bill pairs the group with Benjamin Tod and Tommy Prine, making it a full evening of songwriters from that same world.

If you're not familiar, the Lost Dog Street Band describes their sound as sitting in the Americana, folk, and country traditions. That's a broad enough description to cover a lot of ground, but it's the same territory Shooting Star occupies. With Tod and Prine both on the bill, the night leans heavily into that songwriting tradition.

The show is at Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden Street, and it starts at 7 PM.
