Benjamin Tod & Lost Dog Street Band – with Tommy Prine

Benjamin Tod & Lost Dog Street Band appear with Tommy Prine at Cat’s Cradle. Known for incisive, hard-truth songwriting, Tod arrives in a period of personal renewal that informs both his stage presence and his recent solo album, Shooting Star.

After years spent navigating darker themes, he speaks of leaning into happiness and stability, and that shift brings a calmer focus to his music without losing its edge. Crafted with seasoned Nashville musicians, the new material weaves honky tonk textures and explores many corners of country, from outlaw and red dirt to folk and indie, a deliberate stretch beyond his usual terrain to underline his range as a writer.

Early days busking around Lower Broadway echo through these songs, now tempered by gratitude and perspective. Alongside the band’s raw drive and Tommy Prine’s addition to the lineup, the night highlights stories of change, resilience, and country tradition.
