Dawes

Yet another up and coming Americana act making this a great musical moment!

But don't take my word for it; just ask Jackson Browne, Robbie Robertson, or Alison Krauss, all of whom have offered their support for this awesome group of musicians, and, as far as I can tell, great group of guys as well. They seem like the sort of folks that could be around for a long time. That's be fine by me!

Dawes' second full-length album solidifies their place amongst the most soulful and authentic song-writers today. Seriously, in "A Little Bit of Everything," they take the listener on a journey from suicide, to reconciliation, and ultimately the bonds of love and marriage by weaving three different stories in a single song.
