Dawn & Hawkes

In Bed With Dawn & Hawkes

There’s a flower called Queen Anne’s Lace that grows in fields and meadows and along sleepy country roads. There’s a quiet beauty to it. Delicate, free and wild. It’s the same way we'd describe Dawn & Hawkes' music. Voices and harmonies that find each other, climb and grow and perfectly intertwine. They’ve wowed the judges on The Voice, had a No. 1 Billboard hit with their rendition of the Beatles, “I’ve Just Seen a Face”, played the likes of Austin City Limits, SXSW and Tedx, and their latest collaboration is just as sweet as their love story: an album they wrote, recorded and produced themselves, “Yours And Mine”.

Miranda Dawn and Chris Hawkes took time out of their latest tour to hop in bed and sing us “Life is a Good Song” and share their very favorite things with us.
 

Favorite song: 
Miranda: "Revelator" by Gillian Welch or Chocolate On My Tongue by The Wood Brothers

so much energy

Chris: Same! Almost anywhere in Chicago too. 

Favorite thing/prized possession:

feels like home everywhere we go.
