THE DAWN LIGHT

Soulful, angelic vocals soaring over deep grooves combined with inspiring lyrical content based on the poetry of Francis Brabazon and Daniel Ladinsky (renderings of Hafiz). Their wide scope musical genres spans across soul, blues, R&B, Latin, and folk - all with a sprinkle of tasty jazz influence.

Led by Angela Newcomb and backed by an all-star band OJ Newcomb on Bass (John Butler Trio, Xavier Rudd, Ash Grunwald, Band of Frequencies, Afro Dizzi Act), Charles Wall on Drums (aka Bobby Alu, Xavier Rudd, Ash Grunwald, OKA), Brodie Graham or Guitar (Band of Frequencies, T H U M P), Michael Manikus on Keys (Little Red Co., 10 Tenors) & Gareth Mews (Cigarny Weaver), the music of The Dawn Light is sophisticated, mystical, soulful and truly heart warming.

Influenced by artists such as Corinne Bailey Rae, Erykah Badu, Hiatus Kaiyote, Emily King, Jose James, D'Angelo, Jill Scott, Jon Cleary, Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim, The Dawn Light's sound is angelic, playful, moving and deeply soulful, paying homage to these great poets. This combination of musicians, words and music will surely inspire your heart and soul to dance.

"The heart is a thousand-stringed instrument that can only be tuned with Love."
