New Music! St. Augustine at Night

New Music! Who Do You Think You’re Talking To?

I Will Run to Raise Funds

Listen at https://smarturl.it/Dawes-IWillRun

This one comes from the ‘Passwords’ sessions produced by Jonathan Wilson in late 2017. Didn’t seem to fit that batch of songs at the time, but happy to give it a life of its own now. A silly song about the irony of how much we depend on our pets love, considering that a lot of them would bolt if just given the chance. Hope it makes you smile during this weird time.

All proceeds from this release will benefit the North Shore Animal League America and the MusiCares Covid-19 Relief Fund.
