About

Say goodbye to Bro-Country and hello to SHOW COUNTRY. 

From the bright lights of Broadway theatre to a honky tonk near you, Misty Dawn is out to turn your preconceived notions of what country music is upside down. Born in Fort Worth, TX and currently based in Nashville, Dawn is an unconventional outlaw who got her start in theatre at the age of six before pivoting to music, where she writes modern day outlaw ballads about women’s equality and other issues dear to her.

Dawn’s sound is a hodge-podge of influences that centers on a homage to the classic Texas hill country twang she calls home. Sprinkled throughout are also hints of jazz, show tunes, church hymns and more that coalesce into what she’s dubbed “show country” due to its lyrical plot twists and vocal gymnastics that pair her theatrical upbringing and musical ambitions together.

The country cabaret comes calling on Tarantula, Dawn’s full-length debut has drawn praise from the likes of Holler and NOLA County Radio, who says “Misty writes music like a playwright which allows the listener to really see and feel what's happening within the tracks. Her songs are like cinematic vignettes that I want to see her perform on stage and in video.”

Not only a testament to the 39-year-old Dawn’s talent, Tarantula is also proof that it's never too late to chase your dreams and to always trust your intuition. Dawn’s done both on the way to making her musical dreams a reality, showing us all how the “show country” queen gets it done.
