When Dawes Concert Tour?
Dawes reveals massive North American tour.
Dawes, a folk rock band, has recently unveiled its concert schedule for the upcoming North American tour in support of the latest record “Good Luck With Whatever. ” The tour is slated to start in early April with a run of dates throughout the East Coast, before the band travels to Europe to perform at various festivals. The baby will be home in early summer and will move up and down the country performing venues, big and small for the next few months.
All in all, the band plans to perform about 80 North American concerts within the framework of the Good Luck With Whatever tour. The first leg begins on April 5 in Portland, Maine, and continues until the end of April in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC among others. On these East Coast dates, Dawes will be joined by singer-songwriter Chris Cohen.
After the European tour, Dawes would go back to the United States in June for the next tour that will see them across the Midwestern part of the United States and Canada. Some of the major cities that are in this leg are Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, St Louis, Denver, and Salt Lake City. There is no information available regarding other performers as support acts. The Midwest shows are all concluded with three California shows in Dawes’ home state.
More summer dates for the folk-rock quartet as they keep on touring through the map. July tour dates include Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and Tampa. Dawes will then travel west and perform in Phoenix, San Diego, and Los Angeles. The opening bands for the July and August performances have not been announced as well.
Like clockwork, Dawes does not rest as fall approaches. After several summer festivals, the band tours across the United States again in September and October. The Good Luck With Whatever tour is expected to go down in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Austin, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and many more before it culminates in Washington DC in mid-October.
Of course, fans from all over North America will have a chance to see Dawes live this year. The exhaustive tour came after the drop of their latest studio album Good Luck With Whatever, which was released in October 2020. It captures the essence of the Laurel Canyon folk-rock that Dawes has been cultivating in their nine-track, seven-album journey.
Good Luck With Whatever, the band’s first record since Passwords in 2018, captures the zeitgeist of the times with songs about transitional periods and hopeful tentativeness. The lyrics describe negative and positive feelings associated with change. Musically, it is a combination of Dawes’ characteristic vocal harmonies, groovy 70s-influenced instrumentation, and modern folk narratives.
The album release came hand in hand with a series of drive-in concert acts that Dawes performed in the past year due to the coronavirus outbreak. Those shows included the band playing the entire record via car stereos for 300 automobile attendees per show. Fan and critical response applauded Dawes for having figured out a creative means of reaching out to a listenership that is increasingly isolated.
However, with the new tour, the band is prepared to go back to live performances and not virtual ones. “Many of the songs are about these moments of change,” lead singer Taylor Goldsmith said regarding choosing to tour during the uncertain climate. “We realized we cannot afford to sit idle if that is what we love to do, and that is playing live. ”
Of course, the band is delighted to get back on stage. Goldsmith claimed the Good Luck With Whatever tour would be wild and unpredictable. “Our shows are known to go in a million different directions,” he said. ‘And every night needs a different list of songs based on the location and the people. That’s why it is entertaining for us.
Although the band will try to scatter obscurities and album tracks in the forthcoming tour, songs like “Didn’t Fix Me,” “Between the Zeros and the Ones” and “Who Do You Think You’re Talking To?” will be performed nightly. Of course, longtime fans will still get their Mellencamp faves such as ‘When My Time Comes,’ ‘Most People,’ and ‘Time Spent in Los Angeles,’ too.
Thus, whether you have not seen Dawes live or whether you want to hear songs from that amazing new album, don’t miss the tour at your place. Dawes has been active for over fifteen years and with 8 albums, they have perfected their sound and live show. This year’s Good Luck With Whatever tour is set to demonstrate the experienced band at their best as they perform across the country in spring and summer.
For more information on ticket availability and prices, consult the relevant venues in your area. And don’t forget to sing along with the SoCal rockers while they perform songs from their upcoming second album expected in January 2014 following the Good Luck With Whatever release. But wherever this next phase of their career leads Dawes, one thing is for certain; they’ll both be racking up the frequent flyer miles when this marathon tour wraps up next fall.
