Dr. Dog

In February 2011, when Dr. Dog delivered that standout performance at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, they were riding high from the success of their album *Shame, Shame*, released about a year earlier. This record marked a significant moment for the band, showcasing their signature blend of vintage rock, heartfelt lyrics, and catchy harmonies. It was also a period of creative blossoming for them, as they began to gain a wider audience, earning praise from critics and fans alike for their engaging sound. Interestingly, during this show, Scott McMicken stepped into the spotlight more than usual because Toby Leaman was under the weather. McMicken's rendition of “County Line” bursts with emotion, reflecting both his dedication to the band and the camaraderie they share—taking the reins for his sick bandmate highlights that tight-knit friendship at the core of Dr. Dog. It's moments like these—intimate yet powerful—that remind us of the raw energy and resilience in live performances.
