Doghouse Roses

**Doghouse Roses** is a Glasgow-based folk duo featuring singer-songwriter Iona McDonald and multi-instrumentalist Paul Tasker. Known for their raw, heartfelt blend of folk, Americana, and blues, the pair have been crafting soul-stirring music since forming in the mid-2000s. Their sound pairs McDonald’s hauntingly expressive vocals with Tasker’s masterful guitar work, creating a warm, lived-in vibe that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Recent releases like *We Are Made of Light* and *Why We Fight* showcase their knack for storytelling, weaving themes of resilience, love, and everyday struggles into poetic lyrics. Tracks such as *Lost Is Not Losing* and *Folk & Blues, Pt. 2* highlight their stripped-back acoustic chemistry, while *How’ve You Been (All This Time)?* leans into bittersweet melodies that linger long after the last note. Doghouse Roses’ music feels like a conversation with old friends—honest, unpretentious, and rich with emotional depth.
