Something organic has been blooming from Asbury Park, New Jersey, and is now making its way around the world. Dogs In A Pile, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll.
This is one of the busiest touring bands of today, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The road has become their creative engine, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid, the band’s newest album, is a 10-song collection featuring long-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire.
From the start, guitarist Brian Murray “was surprised about the community surrounding the band. It seemed like so many people were excited about this thing we were creating.” Keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan reflects on how they have “always done things grassroots, picking up fans one by one.” Their faithful Dog Pound – the group’s extended family of fans – has grown into crowds of thousands at Bonnaroo, the Stone Pony Summer Stage, and sold-out multi-night runs from coast to coast.
Besides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song, “He’s Gone,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the quintet’s stylistic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americana, bluegrass, jazz improvisation, eccentric instrumental excursions, pop-rock sophistication, and deep-pocket grooves, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond. “We’re like a pile of all sorts of junk,” Kaplan laughs.
