Downtown
Dawes are awesome! I have been lucky enough to catch them twice here in town previously and they return next week to play a free show with Sara Watkins opening up. Musically, this years Arts Fest is one of the best in recent years with the inclusion of Dawes certainly being one of the reasons why. Main man Taylor Goldsmith was cool enough to take a few minutes to participate in this edition of First/Last.
The first album you ever bought?
Weezer's “Blue Album”, I think.

Any thoughts, experiences about
Pittsburgh?
We've had only fun shows in Pittsburgh and look forward to getting back. I also like how the football stadium seems almost as big as the city.

Thanks, Taylor. Always love seeing you guys play and next week will be no different, I'm sure.
