Dawes began their journey in the San Fernando Valley back in 2009. Having played with, for, and against some of rock ’n roll’s most illustrious icons, the merry men have picked up more than a few things when it comes to sticking around and what it means to be a true band. From the 1st downbeat, their latest album Good Luck With Whatever sets a tone all its own. Far from apathetic, this album is Dawes at their most unapologetic. It’s sympathetic & magnetic, 50% genetic & highly kinetic. Drop the tone arm down, turn the volume up, unplug the phone & if you feel nothing…call a doctor. See more at dawestheband.com. 

A portion of profits from the sale of Dawes' strings go to Brady Campaign/Team Enough: Brady's youth-led initiative, Team Enough, educates and mobilizes young people in the fight against gun violence. See more at bradyunited.org/program/team-enough.
