It has evolved into serious, widely admired artists who is viewed as a leader in the folk-rock space. Originally treated as a West Coast phenomenon, sort of a sophisticated answer to banjo-tinged pop, the band has made true believers of music fans across the country. From Houston to Boston and everywhere in between, Dawes' musicianship and showmanship have conquered audiences around the US. It's often described as a nearly perfect live band. Taylor Goldsmith makes a great frontman, and the rest of the band is extremely competent musicians.

A Dawes concert is a live experience that shouldn't be missed.'
