There is other interesting news. Dawes recently played as the hand-picked backing band for Robbie Robertson and Jackson Browne (not at the same time mind you). They played on various TV shows around the world with Robertson and on a European tour with Browne.
In addition to the tour Dawes and Blitzen Trapper are releasing a free six song EP via download. You can check this out at www.dawestheband.com. There are three songs from each band. Get the widget at the website. A pre-sale of tickets from both bands goes on sale Friday, August 5 at 10 a.m.
