About The Los Dawsons

We are an intrepid acoustic quartet (and sometime acoustic trio) from in and around Greenwich, we are vocals and 2 guitars (flattop and Spanish) Double Bass and occasional harmonica, and as a quartet we add a drums/percussionist with a further vocal. We perform either totally acoustically in small venues or amplified in larger ones, we can play in your dining room and have done so on more than one occasion. We play music that encompasses 75 years of popular music; jazz, blues, swing, country, rockabilly, rocknroll, latin, soul, Rhythm and Blues, pops, standards, folk, punk, brit pop and even some originals too... so Rent Parties Bar Mitzvahs or any other suitable occasion is our pleasure or hopefully yours! A snapshot of our latest tracks are featured in the Flash player here, they were recorded live with no overdubs – so this is what we sound like live... Our recently completed second CD Cattleya Nights embraces these sentiments…

Pleasant Valley Sunday Party; last match of the season at Cattleya

Sunday 4th May 2008

Well... we decided to start a lot earlier than normal to play to the Addicks and any other supporters that were there…. so much for “forever blowing bubbles” type of songs. Our listeners seemed a remarkably sophisticated music loving audience..... and the chap (I believe) who wrote Valley Floyd Road was in attendance for the first set and seemed to be tapping his feet

Seemed a nice vibey evening with 35 or so songs delivered hopefully with a bit of aplomb we must nail Pleasant Valley Sunday

Couldn't find Valley Floyd Road on iTunes and I must say I've never heard of it!
Pleasant Valley Sunday is an excellent number - Mickey Dolenz had a great voice didn't he? and sang quite a lot of their tunes. My personal favourite is Stepping Stone.
