Biography
Glasgow, United Kingdom (2005 – present)
Doghouse Roses is a Scottish acoustic duo of Paul Tasker and Iona MacDonald formed in 2005 in Glasgow.
The unique sound of Doghouse Roses lies in the threads that connect British folk music and Americana. Inevitable comparisons have been made to musicians of the 60’s folk revival, who drew strongly on American influence in their interpretation of traditional material and in their songwriting. The music of Doghouse Roses explores the landscape in a similar way, but is very much of its own time. What results, from the writing and musicianship of Tasker and Macdonald, is no pale imitation of what has come before, but a bold step forward in folk music.
“Mines the best of Scottish and American musical influences. Like the great Joni Mitchell they leave the listener simultaneously sated and devastated” R2
“…a level of expertise that immediately puts them head and shoulders above many similar bands.” Acoustic Magazine
“…in Iona Macdonald’s singing resides a loveliness which cannot be taught.” Rolling Stone
“Tasker is one of the guitarists of his generation.” Maverick
