Summary

Dawes last impressed a Chicago audience at the Goose Island Block Party in September. They are back with an "Evening With…" performance to supplement the quickie festival set. The perennial opening band gets a great chance to play for its audience in the big room.

What They Say

While their last album was a departure, recent sets have been of the career spanning variety.

What We Say

Dawes was formed from the band Simon Dawes after the departure of co-songwriter Blake Mills, subsequently abandoning a post-punk sound in favor of folk rock. Dawes has been described as having a Laurel Canyon sound derived from artists such as Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young.
