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 โ€œundeniably intimateโ€. Their initial duo effort, Golden Heart, climbed to No. 25 in Billboardโ€™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 โ€œImpeccable vocal harmonies and instrumentationโ€ and Huffington Post summarizes โ€œTranscendent alternative-folk โ€” you will find yourself craving more from this amazing, dynamic duo.โ€

The duo stored their possessions and lived on the road, drawing inspiration from American deserts and mountains, to the South Australian coast while navigating a shared journey through mortality, grief and compassion for differing perspectives. Upon returning to Austin, they set upon building a new home and self-producing their second full-length album, The Other Side. The Austin American Statesman calls it โ€œ10 new tracks of sweet folk-rock โ€“ instantly appealing tunes โ€“ rooted in the singer songwriter heyday of the early 1970โ€™s, they also fit well into the modern-day indie-folk revival.โ€

In a time when the world seems more divided than ever, Dawn and Hawkes celebrates hope and finding our common humanity. โ€œWhile on our own adventures of ups and downs we found ourselves exploring themes of empathizing with the other side,โ€ recounts Miranda Dawn. โ€œWe hope that you will hear this album and share it with someone you love, because these are anthems of compassion for everyone who’s ever felt on ‘The Other Side.’โ€
