Dawes - "Peace in the Valley" feat. Blake Mills

This was recorded September 1st, 2011 at a concert on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California.

The video was shot on an iPhone 4, so I apologize for the lack of crispness. Watching it in HD should help both the picture and audio be more clear.

The band is Dawes : http://www.dawestheband.com/
Please listen to them and support them by buying their music on itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/dawes/id21219179?uo=4

They are my favorite band.

To those of you who watch my videos regularly, this is obviously something of a departure from my normal vlogging, but I wanted to capture this song and share it with the internet. I want to share it with people I like - like you. I want to share it with the band, just in case they want to see how this song looked from the outside.

I love this band. They are a band that I go see and am constantly re-inspired to make music. This specific song is special because the guys in Dawes are joined by their former bandmate Blake Mills, who split from the group a few years ago, and is now widely acknowledged as one of the top studio guitarists in the business.

I don't want to gush, because writing this description makes me want to do an entire video on them, and I might.

For now, I hope you enjoy "Peace in the Valley"

I wish I could like this a million times. <3

Attempting to con my sister into going to see them with me when I visit her in New York. She loves them too but is still working even if I'm on vacation.

Hell ya! That was great! Reminded me a little bit of Phish meets Band of Horses. You have very good taste in music and it shows in the music that you make! Thanks for posting this! I might have never heard of these guys without this and I would have been missing out big time!

Alex, I heard a Little Bit Of Everything by these guys the other day, and I was throughly impressed by that song, now I'm convinced I'll have to look into them further. Thanks, man :)
