If all bands wear their musical influences on their sleeves, the Dawn Brothers go a step further and reveal themselves as the last in line on the Evolution of Music poster…the one which starts with basic Rock n’ Roll on the left, and unfurls through Pop, Soul, Funk, Blues, Country, Americana until they emerge as fully-formed Dutch Masters and launch their seventh studio album, “Cry Alone”, on 2025.
In the past years, Dawn Brothers have toured from Hungary to South Africa, played at both North Sea Jazz and Nashville’s Americanafest, provided support for The Black Keys and the Golden Earring, and made several records with their soul mates DeWolff.
Somehow, the Dawn Brothers manage to mould their many classic influences into something of greater value than the sum of its parts – that’s called genre-defining and is absolutely the best way to define this band. Want to listen to soul ? Want to dance ? Catch snippets of Petty, Dylan and Orbison ? But then marvel at how very “2025” this all sounds. That’s a genre called The Dawn Brothers. It’s “retro-projecting” at its best…the ability to take all the best-loved elements of what has ever gone before…shape them, refresh them, blend them up, sprinkle some Dawn Brothers magic sauce and throw it out there for 2025 and beyond.
