Two of our musical favorites, Dawes and opener Blake Mills, are coming to the newly renovated Lobero Theater a week from today.  If you like well-crafted songs, emphatic (but deft) playing and heavenly harmonies, you’re going to want to be at the Lobero next Wednesday.  We have written repeatedly about Dawes and raved in particular about their superb local live sets.  We have also written and interviewed songwriter and outstanding guitar-player Blake Mills.  Given that Mills used to be in a band with Dawes’ Goldsmith brothers, the combination of the two is a particularly potent musical mix. Don’t miss it (you can get tickets HERE).  Who knows, maybe both artists’ pal Jackson Browne will show up?

Both artists have been busy recently, with Dawes helping out The Killers on the latter’s new Christmas benefit song, and Mills coming off a well-received collaborative tour with Fiona Apple.

To view another example of Dawes‘ exemplary live performances, watch below their delivery of Most People (off of their critically-acclaimed 2013 album Stories Don’t End) on Conan last night.
