Songwriter Series - Dawson Whitefield's Path to Songwriting & Musical Childhood | Salty's Live Music
We spent some time with Dawson Whitefield at the Fernandina Beach Songwriters Festival to hear about his music-obsessed upbringing and recent rise as a musician, songwriter, and performer. Dawson takes us through the importance of community and divine timing in the music world, balancing performance and behind-the-scenes work, and the influence of blues and rock on his craft.
