Old Dogs New Tricks is husband-and-husband duo Mark Davis and Jim Howe with flutist Paul Harris. Their songs ask what it means to be human and how, in the words of the poet Mary Oliver, we can make the most of our “one wild and precious life.” Forming Old Dogs New Tricks is one answer they came up with for themselves. Their sound has been described as part folk, part art song, and very much their own. They just released their second studio album, “Forever,” in February 2024.
