After recently wrapping up a trip to Rwanda where the band helped the U.N. charity Nothing But Nets raise awareness and funds to protect refugee families from malaria, Dawes are currently on the road touring a number of independent record stores across America, performing songs off their Jacquire King-produced, Stories Don't End (April 9, HUB Records).
Immediately following the current tour, Dawes will support Bob Dylan (see below). Dawes also launched FromAWindowSeat.net, an interactive photo web site that allows the band's fans and friends across the globe to connect and share in each other's lives by posting photos from a window seat and using the hashtag #fromawindowseat.
Follow Dawes on Twitter (@dawestheband), on Instagram (@dawestheband), or visit http://fromawindowseat.net to view these photos and to see the band's rotating set of favorite shots.
The concept for the Web site is taken from the name of the band's first single off Stories Don't End, "From A Window Seat," which will be performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, May 16.
While the city of Los Angeles has been both an inspiration and a home to the four members of Dawes - Taylor Goldsmith (lead vocals, guitar), Wylie Gelber (bass), Tay Strathairn (keyboard), Griffin Goldsmith (drums, vocals) - they
found themselves traveling East last fall to record their third album
in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
