Episode Notes

The title of Dawes’ fourth album refers to one of the sweetest lyrics you’ll hear this year: “May all your favorite bands stay together,” Taylor Goldsmith sings in an affectionate farewell to an old pal. The title could also allude to the way Dawes continue to unapologetically evoke the earnest romanticism and skyward harmonies of classic 1970s Laurel Canyon rock. (In another nod to rock history, the title song has some “Let It Be” piano.) But on their strongest record since their 2009 debut, they inject a brooding guitar jam (“I Can’t Think About It Now”) and some of Goldsmith’s most sweet-and-sour lyrics (“Things Happen”). Rock’s thoughtful past has rarely sounded more vibrant. –Rolling Stone
The planned shows take Dawes all over North America and Europe from June to October and include festival stops at Bonnaroo, Winnipeg Folk Festival and Xponential Music Festival, stops on Mumford & Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road Tour, dates supporting Hozier and My Morning Jacket. headlining theater and outdoor venue performances and more. Dawes will play alongside several support acts including Blake Mills, Langhorne Slim, The Lone Bellow, Gill Landry, Sam Outlaw, First Aid Kit, John Moreland and others.
