Dawn & Hawkes

Miranda Dawn and Chris Hawkes formed Dawn and Hawkes after a chance meeting on an Austin dance floor. The first time they sang together they found a sound Texas Monthly calls “undeniably intimate”. Their first co-written record climbed to No. 25 in Billboard’s Folk chart and landed at No. 2 in iTunes singer-songwriter albums kicking off a whirlwind of cross-country and international touring, and original albums. Acoustic Guitar hails their musicality as “Impeccable vocal harmonies and instrumentation” while The Austin American Statesman describes their songs as “sweet folk-rock – instantly appealing tunes – rooted in the singer songwriter heyday of the early 1970’s, they also fit well into the modern-day indie-folk revival” and Huffington Post summarizes “Transcendent alternative-folk — you will find yourself craving more from this amazing, dynamic duo.” In a time when the world seems more divided than ever, Dawn and Hawkes celebrate hope and our common humanity, illuminating our shared human experience in a way that resonates deeply with all who listen.
