L.A.-based Dawes has only been around a few years, but in that short time they've skyrocketed to the top of the folk-rock scene, especially with the release of their second album "Nothing Is Wrong." As an artist on ATO Records, they have harnessed plenty of inspiration with labelmates like My Morning Jacket, Drive-By Truckers and Gomez by their side.

Favorites of the Midwest, they stopped by the UBS Forum to record a special performance with host Bill DeVille. If you didn't get a chance to catch a very sold-out show at First Avenue on November 4, never fear: they will be back at the Varsity Theater for a special New Year's Eve bash sponsored by 89.3 The Current.
