On Mar. 11, Dawes dropped by the Relix office for a session, which was broadcast live on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith performed a stripped-down set (with Taylor on acoustic guitar as the only instrumentation) of two Grateful Dead covers. They began with “Jack Straw” and then played “He’s Gone.” Watch the full performance below.

Dawes is in town to act as Mandy Moore’s backing band (Taylor is married to Moore) during her appearances on ‘The Today Show’ and ‘The Tonight Show.’ Watch a video of Moore’s ‘Today Show’ appearance here.
