Dorothy

DOROTHY, like Halestorm and DAUGHTRY before them, is a group, not a person. Nevertheless, it's clear that Dorothy Martin is the driving force of the Los Angeles-based quartet: she's not only the namesake, she's the singer and the star around which the other members rotate. Due to landing a contract with Jay-Z's Roc Nation, the modernized blues-rock group -- they split the difference between the Black Keys at their most electronica and the full-throated wail of Adele -- became a hot pick to click in the mid-2010s, with their 2015 digital EP serving as a teaser for their 2016 full-length ROCKISDEAD. The band continued to hone their sound on subsequent efforts like 2018's Linda Perry-produced 28 Days in the Valley and 2022's transformative Gifts from the Holy Ghost. In 2024, DOROTHY began a new album cycle with the release of the singles "Mud" and "The Devil I Know," both appearing on The Way in 2025.
