Taylor Goldsmith is the lead singer/songwriter for the band Dawes. Taylor’s work has been widely recognized for his excellent story-telling and honest lyrics. Esquire Magazine called Goldsmith “The best young songwriter in America” and says of his songs “these are songs that don’t just speak for themselves but accomplish something far rarer – they speak for us.” Goldsmith draws influence from Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Warren Zevon, and Jackson Browne, who Dawes have had the pleasure of playing with and who has called Taylor a “brilliant songwriter.” Taylor & co-writer Sidd Khosla recently received an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics” for their song “Memorized” from the NBC show This Is Us.
