What an amazing experience shooting my first video for the lastest single, "Someone Watching Over Me" off my debut CD. Had an great time working with the super talented Andi Zack at both locations. Andi made it fun and easy to get into the feel of the video and hated when it was all done. The video wouldn't have looked as good if it weren't for my lovely friend, Brittney Jones, who was my lead girl in the video. Hope everyone enjoys the video as much as we all did making it! 

Cheers,
Dawson.

Well it was a great 2011 CCMA week in Hamilton, ON. Playing at the Paris Fair as part of the CCMA FanFest Events was a great way to start my week by sharing the main stage with some of Canada's top artists in Larry Berrio, Victoria Banks and Gord Bamford. Then it was onto the CMAO performance at "The Studio" at Hamilton Place as part of the "Stars Of Tomorrow" showcase. Great night meeting other new country acts as well as many Canadian country music industry people. Then it was time for my big wrap up performance at the "Gibson/EMI Throwndown Party" at the Liuna Station. The place was packed with fans, country music industry people and the whose who of country music on both sides of the boarder like Aaron Pritchett, Deric Ruttan, Jason Blaine, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry. Amazing to share a stage with all these great country artists. Looking forward to next years CCMA's in Saskatchewan. 

Well it was a great two weeks of music meetings and writing sessions back in Nashville! Been very fortunate to have been introduced and booked to write with these mega talented guys. Wrote with Brian White who penned Rodney Atkins hit "Watching You" and Trace Adkins rocker "Rough And Ready". Then it was time to meet and write with Jaron Boyer who had his song "I Ain't Ready To Quit" cut by one of my favorite artists, Jason Aldean. Finished up the writing sessions with one of Nashville's all time greats on so many levels, Byron Hill. Byron has had his hand in so many big artists careers that have brought many gold and platinum songs and albums. Can't wait to get back down and sit down some more and write. Very excited about the new CD that's being put together!
