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 performances.

Acoustic Guitar hails the musicality of their first full-length, Yours and Mine, as “Impeccable vocal harmonies and instrumentation” and Huffington Post summarizes “Transcendent alternative-folk — you will find yourself craving more from this amazing, dynamic duo.”

While touring, the duo stored their possessions and lived on the road, drawing inspiration from American deserts and mountains, to the South Australian coast while self-producing their second full-length album, The Other Side. The Austin American Statesman calls it “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.”

Their newest album 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 celebrates hope and our common humanity.
