Dawn Landes Gets Short-Shrifted
Dawn Landes has found herself, as far as I can tell she's a gentle soul, in the (un)fortunate position of opening up for two of the bruisiest rockers in alt-country - Will Hoge and Jason Isbell (ex-Drive By Truckers). I hope this shy and quiet performer can make her music heard over the hordes of rowdy alt-country fans sure to fill Double Door for this show.
Dawn's record Fireproof was self-released ages ago, but it has since been picked up by the French "americana" label Fargo Records and on March 4 it'll have a proper release in the US by Cooking Vinyl Records. Dawn's song "Tired Of This Life" is just about pitch perfect with it's gentle acoustic guitar and breathy, undulating vocals.
Get to Double Door early on Feb. 8th to catch the opening set by this up and comer.

Dawn made a bit of a stir about 6 months ago with her bluegrass cover of the PB&J hit "Young Folks. Here's the YouTube video that started all the commotion.
