Dawes Announce Winter Tour

01/14/2010
. ATO Records is thrilled to announce that Dawes has confirmed a co-headlining winter tour with Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons.

The dates will kick off on February 5th at the Crepe Place in Santa Cruz, CA, and loop around the country, culminating with a show in the band's hometown of Los Angeles, CA, on March 11th.

Dawes has spent the past several months on the road, as they've been celebrating the release of their debut record, North Hills. Musician and producer Jonathan Wilson (Elvis Costello, Jenny Lewis) produced the album, which was recorded in his cottage studio.

The album was recorded completely live, which led to the raw, beautifully rootsy songs that have gained attention from fellow musicians as well as critics in both America and the UK.

Dawes' soulful and emotional stage performances have garnered new fans in every city they've played in across the country. Each band member brings his own enthusiasm, honesty and palpable commitment to the mission at hand, creating a stage presence that is engaging, charming and charismatic. 2009 proved to be a great first year for Dawes, and 2010 will surely take them to new heights.
