One day, Noah walked into the Studio Theatre at Highland Park High School and found Eli lying on the floor, staring into the lights.

Noah said, “I have a song to show you.” They both lied on their backs on the cold studio floor and listened to “Love is All I Am.” They’ve shared a lifelong love for Dawes ever since.

We are both actors, musicians, writers and, you guessed it, Dawes lovers. We’ve been through a lot, individually and together; and in every struggle, in every triumph, and in the breath of every question, Dawes has been there with us.

Dawes hasn’t fixed us but they’ve definitely made the days move easier.

We consider ourselves Dawes experts— not because we know the names of all Taylor’s guitars or intimate details of the bands’ backstory, but because their music has influenced our lives so deeply that their poetry and melodies now live in our bones.

This podcast is the ultimate tribute to our heroes. We dedicate all our work to this glorious band. We hope that this podcast deepens our love for Dawes by building from our shared stories and devotion, thereby connecting us all.
