Dawson Gray is making waves in country music with his songwriting, charisma, and high-energy live shows.
Originally chasing a career in baseball, an unexpected eye condition led him to pick up a guitar and he hasn’t looked back since.
From busking in Kelowna to sold-out headline shows across Canada, Dawson has earned over 7 million streams and shared stages with acts like Dasha, ERNEST, and the James Barker Band.
Hits like Friends With The Bar Staff and Chevy Back, plus his 2026 single When We Die, mark him as one of country’s rising stars to watch.
The first time I saw Dawson was when he opened for Dasha at the Grey Eagle Resort and Casino and he was so good! So when I saw he was coming back to Calgary, I had to bring him in to chat and meet him!
Dawson and his band (Austen Sawchuck, Gaz Beaumont & Myles Phillpott) stopped by CJWE before their last show of their Alberta run at Whiskey Rose tonight:
They also ALL participated a rapid fire question session:
