Maple the Dog Is a Musical Genius (Or So It Seems)

Dogs aren’t just man’s best friend, they’re also, as it turns out, man’s best bandmate. Case in point: Maple the dog, part of the viral phenomenon known as Acoustic Trench. Together with her owner, Trench, Maple showcases both her golden fur and musical skills.

A multi-instrumentalist, Trench can play the guitar, harp, cello, and a dozen other instruments, while his loyal furry sidekick seems to be an accomplished musician herself with the drums and a few other instruments (but your mind just be playing tricks on you!).

In any case, the result is entrancing as it is hilarious. Amongst their many covers, the two have their own versions of the Harry Potter and Game of Thrones themes, some catchy rock anthems, and even Born in the U.S.A by Bruce Springsteen.

Their web presence includes a buzzing YouTube page, alongside a Facebook and Instagram page, which displays a huge catalog of music videos. You can support this independent duo on Patreon, where you’ll also be able to download mp3s of all of their music.
