The Lonesome Dawn (Athens) and The Pinkerton Raid (from NC) The Lonesome Dawn, fronted by Athens musicians Sarah Lawing and Brian Smith, formed in the spring of 2021. Referencing the many styles they’ve been influenced by over their careers, they paint a picture of growing up and living in the south. Their music will be featured as part of the upcoming series “View Finders,” a five-episode run on GPB highlighting the beauty of Georgia landscapes through travel and photography. Sarah and Brian will be joined by Adriana Thomas, David Adler, Dan Horowitz, Dylan Clark, and Phil Snyder on October 1st at Hendershots. The Pinkerton Raid, Songwriter Jesse James DeConto hails from New England, with Dad’s guitar and Mom’s radio tuned to Soulsville, Liverpool and Laurel Canyon, now mining foothills-folk in Durham, N.C., for songs AmericanaUK calls “anthemic.” Critics hear influences from Sufjan to Wilco. “Radiant,” said American Songwriter. The Pinkerton Raid has played with Illiterate Light, Ballroom Thieves and Noah Gundersen. New albums in 2017-2018 brought them from Charleston to Chicago, with slots at Shakori Hills and Daytrotter and acclaim from Paste, Popdose and more. Glide said their newest singles “purr with the garage-rock swagger of The White Stripes and the irritated kick of Cage the Elephant.”
