Dawn Landes' music is reminiscent of the raw traditionalism of Woodie Guthrie and the experimental alt-folk lyricism of artists like Joanna Newsome and this Louisville, KY native plays a variety of instruments including 8$ guitars, pink accordions, glockenspiels and optigons! Whether she's performing by herself or with accomplices, 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. In addition to her gig performing with Rounder recording artists Hem, Dawn has supported the likes of Suzanne Vega, Andrew Bird, Feist, Josh Ritter and Jane Siberry.
