After crafting an unbelievable debut in instant classic Separation and following it up with their commercial breakthrough and near-masterpiece The…
No strangers to Music City (last year alone they headlined The Ryman and Live on the Green, and hosted a special record release show at The Basement East), Los Angeles folk rockers Dawes are continuing their rapid ascent, still reeling with support from last year’s fifth album We’re All Gonna Die, with a two-night return to The Ryman…
