dawn Landes is a singer-songwriter reminiscent of the raw traditionalism of Woody Guthrie and the experimental alt-folk lyricism of artists like Joanna Newsome.

Whether she's performing by herself or with accomplices (members of the bands Hem and The Earlies), her live show brings moving silence to the crowd and has caught the attention of a number of popular touring artists who've taken her on the road.( She has supported the likes of Jose Gonzalez, Suzanne Vega, Le Tigre, Rainer Maria, Andrew Bird, Feist, M83, Jane Siberry and Shannon Wright ).

dawn's self-recorded and self-produced album dawn's Music is available in Europe through French label Ocean-Music. British label Boy Scout Recordings released a mini-album called 2-3-4 in Europe and she recently finished her second full-length album Fireproof.

dawn's day job is as a recording engineer, working with such renowned artists as Hem, Philip Glass, Joseph Arthur and Ryan Adams.
