Dodson and Fogg biography
Presumably named for the two crown attorneys in Charles Dickens Pickwick Papers, DODSON AND FOGG is actually the project of CHRIS WADE, an English writer and illustrator cum singer/songwriter/guitarist born in Leeds, May 1985. He surrounds himself with folk and prog aristocracy including Celia Humphris (TREES), Judy Dyble (FAIRPORT CONVENTION) and Nik Turner (HAWKWIND) to produce the self titled debut album released in late 2012. It has been loosely described as channeling every laid back British folk troubadour from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Somehow the result is fresh if decidedly retro, with the occasional searing guitar by WADE himself contrasting with his hypnotic melodies and vocal harmonies. This is an act worth discovering and following.
