Dawes – Time Spent in Los Angeles

Brothers Taylor & Griffin Goldsmith from Dawes are among the many affected by the fire in Altadena. Griffin lost his home, Taylor lost his studio and most of their musical gear and equipment. They joined us in support of MusiCares to perform a special version of their song “Time Spent in Los Angeles.”

Jimmy, thanks for inviting Dawes to perform. I know Taylor and Griff + Kit were impacted directly and this was very touching. My favorite band <3

The drummer lost his house, gear and studio. His wife is also about to give birth any day now. So great they were invited to perform!

I may live on the East Coast now, but Southern California will always be home. Dawes is one of my favorite bands and I don't know how Taylor got through singing that tune without breaking. Devastating.

Dawes is the best band out there right now. When I heard their houses burned it just compounded the sorrow. Im so sorry for everyone who lost something in this fire.

Made me cry… I needed this among the chaos & fear we are still under right now as a city.. feels like the video of all the positive moments Jimmy played at the beginning of the show.. it’s very good.. I’m so sorry about your community burning Dawes..

I lived in San Gabriel Valley but now in Canada. I still think of LA as my home. Thank you Dawes. God bless you for your beautiful song.

Wow very powerful. A great song to begin with but recontextualized in this tragedy it just takes on a completely new dimension.

[TheBCompany]

I love this band, they are amazing live, and the best of LA singer songwriters.

[eddiejames]

This hits so fkn hard 😢I pray for y’all the strength to overcome, know your not alone that there are people praying and donating and trying to help but are so far away(on the east coast) stand strong and stand together, you will definitely overcome
