Rich and Rob from the Cabin Dogs
Twin brothers, Rich and Rob Kwait, keep their bond through music writing, recording, and playing. Through the twists and turns of daily life outside of Philadelphia, PA, these two brothers keep coming back to their rootsa cabin, their dogs and some time together. Their latest record, Mountain Sun (2018) is a solid country-roots-groove warm and colorful original record.
"It probably started back around 1982," explains Rich. "Playing wiffle ball and listening to Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead from a box, making tape after tape of song snippets, debating the good parts, the hook, the bridge, crossing genrescountry, singer-songwriter, psychedelic stuffdriving our friends crazy."
Fast forward to 1998, the brothers bought a six-track recorder and headed up to Au Sable Forks NY to put some ideas down. They came away with enough material to fill two original records under the name Kwait Brothers Band (2000's Hillside and 2002s Outland Disco). "We still play a ton of those songs live today. Those first two records are how we recruited the band. They were fans."
In 2005, the brothers headed up to Woodstock, NY to write a new batch of songs and record it with Professor Louie (The Band, Rick Danko). The album, Electric Cabin, under the new name CABIN DOGS, garnered praise in Americana circles, and the brothers were compared to a Robertson-Danko team / sound.
The brothers soon built their home studio outside of Philadelphia and produced Midnight Trail in 2011, which was well received achieving steady AAA and college radio play. And with their newest release, Mountain Sun (recorded at home and in rural New York) they are finally starting to get the attention they deserve. The album has reached #11 on the Jam Charts and the top 150 on the AMA charts, with just about all of the songs on the record receiving radio play. "This is a big record and a strong record and varied. With big jam songs and short camp fire songs. Making this one of the must-see bands live, just on the basis of the songs."
'On the Road' is one of the first singles/videos from the record. The band continues to add shows through the Fall and into 2019. And the brothers continue to perfect their wiffle ball skills.
