"ALL ON ME" Dawson's debut single, is much more progressive. Fans will recall more modern singer-songwriters like Keith Urban or Gavin DeGraw before they hear the legends. More than anything they'll hear a unique, confident sound from a new artist who has taken the time to mold his craft.

 The 28-year-old is a Belmont University graduate who first found some fame who covered a Taylor Swift song in 2014.  There is a darkness to his music ("Dark Horse" is the highlight of his wide-ranging live show), but every song plays well on stage. Recently he opened for Maren Morris, and has a big summer planned with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
