Originally from the Mountain West of Idaho, Brandon Dawson relocated his
family to Ohio three years ago in search of a new start. Since then
he's crossed the globe managing tours with artists like Over the Rhine, Kim Taylor, and Hem. Off the road now, and back in Cincinnati, Brandon is concentrating on his own fusion of soul, blues, and straight ahead rock & roll.
Brandon's music pulls from influences across the scope of contemporary songwriting, owing as much to Van Morrison and George Harrison as to Chris Whitley and Jeff Lynne. Whether performing solo with a National guitar & slide, or with Mike Helm and Ben Grant on bass & percussion, Brandon's music drives at the heart, searches the deeper questions and looks for the meaning and beauty in all things.
