Dawson Hollow to perform at Rumble Before the Roar presented by Southern Comfort
Dawson Hollow will perform at the Rumble Before the Roar presented by Southern Comfort pre-race party zone at World Wide Technology Raceway during Saturday's Bommarito Automotive Group 500 INDYCAR race.
Missouri native Dawson Hollow is an indie-folk band based out of the Ozark Mountains. Their music encompasses the nostalgia of folk while channeling the urgent and intoxicating energy of indie-rock. In 2017 they completed a crowd-funded Kickstarter campaign raising an impressive $96,000 for their debut record. The album was produced by San Diego native, Ryan Poole, and mixed by Grammy award-winner and Nashville-based producer/mixer, Ryan Hewitt. The band is now signed with Red Letter Management Group and proud partners with JHaudio.
Their debut album, Boy Of My Youth, was released in January 2018. Singles Lonesome Wolf and Take Me There were released in October and November of 2017.
