To follow the release of their seventh studio album Good Luck With Whatever in October 2020 with Rounder Records, Dawes has announced the dates for their upcoming fall 2021 tour.
The tour will consist of two legs, the first taking place in September and October. It will begin in Charleston, SC on September 9, move up the East Coast with a brief stop in Toronto, ON, and back through such cities as Harrisburg, PA and Cincinnati, OH before reaching Nashville, TN on October 2.
The second leg will be in November and December and will begin in Vancouver, BC on November 17. The tour will move through the Pacific Northwest and West coast before going through more central US cities such as Fort Collins, CO and Chicago, IL, and finally wrapping up in Houston, TX on December 12.
Overwhelming positive reaction from Good Luck With Whatever has prepared Dawes for more of the same with this tour, landing the group on such shows as Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and CBS This Morning: Saturday Sessions. They also worked to personally support the release of the album with a live concert just weeks after its release at the Drive-In OC at the City National Grove of Anaheim, with tickets priced at $200 per car.
This success comes by means of more than just luck. The group initially gained traction with 2009 album North Hills and 2011 sophomore followup Nothing Is Wrong with ATO records, followed by a series of self-released albums including 2016’s We’re All Gonna Die and 2018’s Passwords before beginning their work with Rounder Records in the release of “St. Augustine at Night” off Good Luck With Whatever.
