THE SUNDOGS
Brothers Lee and Will Haraway formed The Sundogs in Atlanta, GA in the early 2000s and quickly earned attention for the melodic Americana Rock and Roll sound of their records and especially for their high-energy live shows.
The Sundogs released “BB Gun Days” in 2004, “Instrument of Change” in 2007 and “Cut & Run” in 2015, which was the first release from The Sundogs to also feature songs from co-lead guitarist Jon Harris, former leader of Jon Harris and the Sin Hounds. Having long been compared to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, the band started performing The Sundogs Present ‘The Tom Petty Show’ in 2008 and have played a complete Petty tribute every December thereafter.
The six-piece lineup also includes renowned Atlanta gunslinger Benji Shanks, ace Hammond keyboardist Kevin Thomas and drummer Will Groth. Collectively, The Sundogs have shared stages with Jason Isbell, Zac Brown Band, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Widespread Panic, Sugarland, Shawn Mullins, The Wailers, Col. Bruce Hampton, The BoDeans, Burning Spear, Gatemouth Brown, Chuck Leavell, Bill Kreuztman, Blackberry Smoke, Black Joe Lewis, Bloodkin, Lucero, and The Wood Bros.
In May of 2017, the Haraway Brothers released a duo record, “The Haraway Brothers Wish You Love & Luck in the World” with Shanks producing from Kristian Bush’s Projector Room Studios in Decatur, Ga. In 2019, The Sundogs will release “The Sundogs’ Greatest B- Sides” featuring 10 of their most-loved songs in their career.
