Info for THE WAY

With a little help from Slash, Dorothy charges full-throttle into The Way while fusing raw grit, soaring melodies, and unshakable conviction.

Dorothy Martin doesn’t tiptoe around rock ‘n’ roll, she barrels straight through it. With The Way, the Budapest-born, Los Angeles-based leader of her own band, Dorothy, delivers her most uncompromising album yet. Fusing grit, melody, and a fearless attitude The Way is a collection built for big stages and even bigger moments.

Dorothy has never been one to second-guess herself, and that makes her impossible to ignore. From the start, her voice has been her weapon of choice, a raw and commanding force that made tracks like “Raise Hell” and “Wicked Ones” into rock anthems. As she evolved through 28 Days in the Valley (2018) and Gifts From The Holy Ghost (2022), critics took note, with Kerrang! praising her “hot-blooded rock ‘n’ roll” and Outburn calling her work “bombastic and gloriously victorious.” But while past albums carried the fire of rebellion, The Way feels like the arrival of an artist who’s not just surviving the storm, she’s leading the charge through it.

One of many highlights is "Tombstone Town," a riff-heavy, outlaw-stomp of a single featuring a searing guest solo from Slash. It’s a perfect introduction to an album that leans into Dorothy’s strengths, soulful, blues-infused vocals wrapped in towering guitars and rhythms that hit like a freight train. But The Way is a lot more than just muscle, it breathes conviction. Songs like "Made To Die" and "Black Sheep" tap into something deeper, showcasing her ability to turn defiance into anthems and vulnerability into power.

Through it all, Dorothy remains an artist who plays by her own rules. Her journey, from small club gigs to sold-out tours, and from early industry buzz to a dedicated global fanbase, has been built on instinct, persistence, and an unshakable belief in the music. And with The Way, she’s not just proving herself again, and she’s leaving no doubt.

Dorothy Martin
Dorothy's life changed forever when she was forced to face death on her tour bus some three years ago. After her guitar technician had taken an overdose, Dorothy instinctively began praying for his survival. While he may have temporarily died, the technician was astonishingly, miraculously restored back to life. It was this moment that seemed to bring Dorothy to life too. It was this divine intervention that caused a radical and spiritual awakening in the singer, the result of which can be heard on Gifts From The Holy Ghost, Dorothy’s third studio album as front person for the pseudonymous, rock band Dorothy.

With the combined powers of Keith Wallen, Jason Hook, Scott Stevens, Phil X, Trevor Lukather, Joel Hamiltonand the legendary ear of producer Chris Lord Alge, Gifts From The Holy Ghost is made from a musical palette which seems to encompass each of the musician’s influences, as well as many of the essential sounds of rock music’s history—from swampy blues to ‘90s alternative —in a way that makes the case for rock and roll itself. Not only is the genre alive, but it’s more invigorated than ever.

The album’s lyrics are a perfect balance of specificity and generality, so that the listener can attach their own darknesses and triumphs to the songs, while still getting a sense of Dorothy’s own. “We are all one human family.” she declares.

With Gifts From The Holy Ghost, Dorothy identifies her purpose as an artist. She conquers darkness with light, numbness with feeling, disharmony with unity—all while delivering one of this year’s most fun rock & roll records.

The album features “Rest In Peace” which pushed Dorothy into Top 15 at Active Rock Radio charts this month, garnered over 4 Million streams worldwide and has been deemed essential listening by Loudwire, Consequence, Blabbermouth, New Noise, Metal Injection and more. Dorothy kicked off her extensive, 40 date U.S. tour in her hometown of San Diego on Monday and continues southbound this week before heading up the east coast.
