The Lost Dogs began as an exciting collaboration between four brilliant frontmen/songwriters, creating music that transcended the musical boundaries of their respective bands. Terry Taylor (Solo, Daniel Amos, the Swirling Eddies), Gene Eugene (Adam Again), Derri Daugherty (The Choir), and Michael Roe (Solo The 77s) over the past 15 years have released nine eclectic albums of traditional American music (country, folk, blues, rock) with a decidedly modern feel. Over the course of time, the Lost Dogs have built a loyal and growing base of alt-country and roots fans including genre artists such as Buddy and Julie Miller, the Kentucky Headhunters, and Phil Madeira.


In 2006, The Lost Dogs returned to the studio with help from Steve Hindalong (also of The Choir, who co-produced the Dogs' previous two albums), Matt Slocum of Sixpence None the Richer, and Jerry Chamberlain of Daniel Amos, and created what most fans are calling one of their best albums yet, The Lost Cabin and the Mystery Trees. The Lost Dogs then hit the road for a tour of the United States in support of the project.
