Devin Dawson  

Asking For A Friend  

Check out the latest single from Devin Dawson, "Asking For A Friend"!  

Devin's first single "All On Me", now certified gold, was an incredible success reaching the #2 spot on the Canadian and American Country radio charts. Devin was in the mix with some of the biggest names in country music like Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Thomas Rhett, and Jason Aldean. Let's see if we can make this one Devin's first #1 hit!  

Devin Dawson is not your typical country artist. He has an approach to country music that's not different on purpose, it’s different with purpose. An edgy study in contrast whose songs speak the language of a new generation –fans with no use for genre labels --Dawson is establishing a reputation in Nashville as one of the most exciting modern singer-songwriters around.  

With a knack for razor sharp stories that cut straight to the heart, full of detail and clever turns of phrase, he's poised as the next bolt of lightning to hit country’s family tree.  

But make no mistake; his path to landing in Nashville in 2012 is nothing short of atypical.  

“I don’t like falling in the center,” he admits, dressed head to toe in black with a faded Def Leppard t-shirt and a leather jacket.  

Twenty-eight years old and from Orangevale, California, Dawson grew up just outside the gates of Folsom Prison. He heard the sirens at night, and sang along to Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson, Marvin Gaye and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Just out of high school he played bass in a touring death metal band.  

But in the midst of a breakup, he discovered the need to express himself through songwriting that metal didn’t fully facilitate. Translating his hardcore roots into stories that stirred his soul, Dawson traded furious guitars and pounding drums for intense emotion and clever wordplay.  

“I’m such a lyric guy,” he explains, “and with the element of storytelling, that’s what really drives country music. I needed that. It’s a completely different feeling being vulnerable onstage singing a song about your heart instead of head banging with your friends.”
