Hank Dogs are an acoustic folk band from South London. Formed in 1992 at an acoustic club, the group consisted of Piano Pace, her ex-husband Andy Allan, and his daughter Lily Ramona. Their music is rooted in the English folk tradition. In 1998, they traveled to Seattle with producer Jon Kertzer to perform at the Bumbershoot Festival. Their debut album, Bareback, produced by Joe Boyd, was released in 1999 and named Record of the Month by Philadelphia’s WXPN. The band released a second album, Half Smile, in 2000. Although they recorded a third album, Fiveways, in 2010, the group disbanded shortly thereafter, leaving the material unreleased for over a decade. Hank Dogs reunited in 2024 to celebrate the eventual release of Fiveways.
