Dogwood Brothers Band
Country & Americana Music From The Shenandoah Valley | Dogwood Brothers Band | Braden Dahmer
Dogwood Brothers began in 2019 when a group of friends from the Shenandoah Valley came together in Richmond, VA to pursue a classic country sound. The band made its debut performance on CPA-TV's Blue Ridge Barn Dance in May 2021 and subsequently added new members, expanded its repertoire and began performing original songs composed by lead singer and guitarist Braden Dogwood.In November 2022 the band released “Here for the Time” an EP of all original material with a stripped down, bluegrass tinged flavor. The group's latest EP “Valley Songs” (released Aug. 23, 2025) showcases their full, Americana country sound in a collection of tunes inspired by people and places in their native Shenandoah Valley.
