Download Free Easter Song

For those who might not already have a copy of my CD, Coffee Shop Songs, here is a song from the CD called "In Their Place" just for Easter! The song is told from the perspective of Jesus as he is in the garden praying and then on the cross asking the father to "take me in their place". You can download a free copy if you provide your email address or share on Facebook or Twitter. Thanks for listening and Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Download Free Special Fan Mix

We are working in the studio on some new music and hope to have some firmer release dates soon. In the meantime here is a preview mix of one of the new singles to tide you over. This is a love song that I wrote for my beautiful wife, Jessica, for Christmas last year and also for our 1st anniversary. Nick and I worked up this quick mix in 2 days so that she could have it for a Christmas present. A more full mix with live drums and more harmonies will be coming soon, hopefully before Christmas this year, so stay tuned! I hope everyone enjoys the new song, "Stop The Sun"!

Featured CD: Looking Up At The Same Star

Dawson's 12th cd is a collection of his wedding & love songs written & performed for friends' weddings as well as for his own wife. Produced by Nick Garrett-Powell and Dawson & featuring the hits "Same Star," the French-lyric, hip-hop love song "Mon étoile filante" and "Cord of Three Strands" which he wrote and sang as his own wedding proposal! Available at CDBaby, Amazon, iTunes and hopefully a speaker near you!

This is Dawson's 2nd "Official" music video, again filmed and edited by Jeff Huit. This song is from his collection of love songs entitled Looking Up At The Same Star. The video tells the story of how Dawson and his wife, Jessica, met and eventually got married. It features cameos from Jessica Cowals, Nick Garrett-Powell, Rayleigh Leavitt & her dog Rivers, and Joe Mistachkin.

For a limited time you can get my entire 11th album, Coffee Shop Songs (2008), featuring the songs "Yoke" and "Before The Sun Sets" for FREE! As one reviewer writes: "Cowals' tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist's flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel." If you enjoy the music, please tell your friends and use the 'Tip the Artist' feature to say thanks and support the music! I'm currently in the studio finishing my 13th CD due out Spring 2012.
