Los Dawsons

We were originally an intrepid acoustic quartet from in and around Greenwich, we are now vocals, 2 guitars, electric Bass, Drums and occasional harmonica. We perform at a nice volume close to acoustically as possible in small venues or amplified in larger ones, we have headlined large festivals but we are just as happy playing 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 available they were recorded live with no overdubs – so this is what we sound like live... ping an email for a sample and a repertoire list if you are curious

Looking for a bass player

Mark has had to go back to Cornwall to find some unmusical day work we wish him well in his endeavour.... great player...

So unfortunately we are looking for another Bass Player, this is a great pity as we are currently playing very well and we have a few gigs in the pipeline, so if anyone out there in the wonderful world of blogdom wants to play for the Los Dawsons then please get in touch, we have a bass and backline so you only have to turn up with your talent as it were...



fingers crossed
