"Fierce and fiery, literate and moody . . . singer-songwriter music gone uptown . . ."

"Julian Dawson's solo performances draw on his huge collection of well-crafted original material and feature his powerful and emotional voice combined with driving guitar accompaniment, virtuoso harmonica playing and a charismatic connection to every audience. The Austin American had this to say about Dawson's performance- " . . . like a brick through a plate-glass window. When he finished, the room was silent and everyone had their ears glued to one of the most startling, marvelous performances I've witnessed. A must-see act."
