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 initial duo effort, Golden Heart, 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.” 

The newest album from Dawn and Hawkes, Light Inside, is illuminated by the warm glow of family homes, old guitars, familiar stories, new infatuation and loyal, long-standing love. It's an invitation to embrace the light that comes from all of us.

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.
