Hugh Dawson

Hugh Dawson is an indie folk/singer songwriter from Brisbane.


“The Etchings EP” has been the result of months of writing, recording, and producing. Featuring 5 tracks, Hugh set out to make a piece of music that reflects his own style and the styles of his most inspiring artists. The songs from “The Etchings EP” are heavily inspired by the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:3JulrApLVT81sb2HkfwMks" data-name="John Martyn">John Martyn</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6YWdHD3R863Apw1hkx3BwC" data-name="Dan Auerbach">Dan Auerbach</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5schNIzWdI9gJ1QRK8SBnc" data-name="Ben Howard">Ben Howard</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3Sz7ZnJQBIHsXLUSo0OQtM" data-name="Mac DeMarco">Mac DeMarco</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0j7wLGDwHdUSPLkxCH3GBQ" data-name="A Blaze of Feather">A Blaze of Feather</a>. The EP reflects these influences through its song structures and instrumentation. Hugh used a Guild Thunderbird, Maton S60, Korg Volcabeat, and a range of pedals to guide himself through the recording process. What came was a small list of tracks that have their own unique groove and experiment with the fusion of folk guitar parts and drum machines that utilize a hip hop/dance groove, a strange mixture that still works in its own weird way. “The Etchings EP” is set to release on the 12th of January, 2022.
