As we learned in our Featured Artist(s) Poll Winner interview with Roof Doctor‘s Mark Harper last year, the band’s name is an homage to his father, who owned a roofing company with the tag line "the roof doctor" and had passed away when Mark was fourteen due to a heart attack while working on a roof. We can’t help but feel some of the weight of the tragic event in the group’s latest single "Dad," which you can stream below. Roof Doctor will be performing live tonight at a "super last minute party show" being hosted by Univercity City DIY space Michael Jordan with acoustic sets by Winthrop "Throp" Stevens from The Hundred Acre Woods, Jeremy Berkin and Pittsburgh’s Fun Home. And if you have trouble finding your way there this evening, then you can also catch them fully plugged in on Saturday, January 4 at The Boot & Saddle.
