Dawes is an American folk-rock band from Los Angeles, California. They formed from the band Simon Dawes, after the departure of co-songwriter Blake Mills, subsequently abandoning a post-punk sound in favor of folk-rock.
The band recorded their debut album, North Hills, in Laurel Canyon in a live setting to analog tape, resulting in a sound that Rolling Stone magazine called, “authentically vintage”. Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone is also credited with appearing on the release.

The band also appeared as themselves on the February 7, 2012, episode of the NBC television series, Parenthood.

The band has performed more than 1,270 times throughout their career.
On July 22, 2020, the band announced their seventh studio album, Good Luck With Whatever, released on October 2 via Rounder Records. In conjunction with the announcement, the band released their first single from the album, “Who Do You Think You’re Talking To?”
