Dawes have confirmed a New Year’s Run. This year the LA-based group will perform at San Francisco, CA’s The Independent on December 30 and 31. Singer/songwriter Blake Mills, who played in the Dawes precursor Simon Dawes, will open the night. Mills recently spent time as a member of Fiona Apple’s band. In related news, Dawes have added an opening slot for Mumford & Songs at Los Angeles, CA’s Hollywood Bowl on November 10. Tickets for these dates go on sale Friday, September 28 at 12 PDT.

The group already played the Hollywood Bowl once this year when they performed with Glen Campbell and Jackson Browne in June. Dawes plan to spend the next few months working on their next studio album.
