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 Huffinton 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 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.
