These Kind of Days

Forgiven

Ticket For Tomorrow

A tribute to childhood lost innocence - and to the Native American peoples who walked the Trail of tears

Cowboys and Indians mp3

"Come meet me at the Crossroads..." The legend goes that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads to play fantastic guitar.... Bessie Smith lost her life as a result of a crash at a crossroads - both were from Mississipi, home of the Delta Blues... this song pays tribute to them both :)

Crossroads

Think vast night skies over the Arizona desert, think of a man, worn and drink addled and 'all bent out of shape like a joshua tree' and the one who loves him... think New Mexico... think about pining for someplace or someone that will always break your heart...

Dreaming America

LEAVING ARIZONA

How many people have felt hopeless and lost during 2020? How many have despaired, felt alone, wondered how they can go on? I have. Neil my music writing pal has. We haven't played live since March.  This song was originally inspired by our visit to Nashville last year, when, in the middle of all of our excitement about finally being there, we saw a headline about the high rate of teenage suicides in the Country music capital. The idea for 'Don't Let Go' was born. Recently, we decided this was the right time to finish it. Everythinghas been recorded and mixed remotely, so far from perfect, but it speaks from our eats to the hearts of others who may be struggling.

Don't Let Go (I'll Be There) MP3

'Songwriters Dawn and Neil whip up a feast of original and reinterpreted folk, blues, Americana and country - It’s all about the song' We’re bringing together our love of bluesy, folksy melodies, with strong voices and guitars to create a fusion of folk, country, blues  wrapped up in catchy sunshine-filled tunes and self-penned songs. We spent a month in Nashville last year and you'll hear some influences from that in our latest songs :) Live we've been going down a storm - look us up!
