Backstory: Only Dog is a band that came together in the heart of Austin, Texas. The members, John Holder (vocals and guitar), Carly Hayes (bass), and Mike Thompson (drums) were all working day jobs while playing small local gigs at night. Their shared love for music and dogs led them to form the band, drawing their name from a common saying amongst the group: the only thing you can trust is a dog. Their unique sound and engaging performances quickly earned them a following in the local scene.

The band’s breakthrough came when they played at a local music festival for independent artists, and their performance caught the attention of a music producer from a renowned record label. Now, Only Dog is preparing to embark on their first national tour, sharing their love for music and canine companions with a wider audience.

Genre: Alternative Rock

Title: “Barks and Beats”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] She walks down the [C] street, her dog at her [G] feet,
No [D] worries, no [C] care in the [G] world.
[G] Reflecting the [C] light, in the heart of the [G] night,
Strutting [D] like a [C] free little [G] girl.

(Chorus)
And she [D] barks, and she [C] beats, and she [G] moves to her own [D] groove,
With her [C] best friend, down the [G] life’s long [D] avenue.
And she [D] barks, and she [C] beats, and she [G] loves with a heart so [D] true,
And I [C] find myself wishing, I could be that [G] dog too.

(Verse 2)
[G] Every step [C] echoes, like a song of the [G] free,
Each [D] moment a [C] brand new [G] verse.
[G] Chasing a [C] dream, under the moon’s soft [G] beam,
A [D] life in [C] simple re[G]verse.

(Repeat Chorus)
