Dawes pays tribute to LA's resilience after devastating wildfires with a touching rendition of Randy Newman's classic song.
The acclaimed band Dawes , led by singer-songwriter Taylor Goldsmith, has released a poignant rendition of Randy Newman 's classic ' Louisiana 1927 ' as a tribute to the resilience of Los Angeles in the wake of devastating wildfires. Performing the song during the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 2, 2025, Dawes delivered a powerful performance that resonated with viewers and honored the first responders and communities affected by the tragedy.
Joined by an all-star ensemble of musicians including Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, John Legend, St. Vincent, and Sheryl Crow, Dawes transformed the stage into a platform for unity and healing. The band's heartfelt interpretation, accompanied by adjusted lyrics reflecting the Los Angeles fire experience, culminated in a powerful message of hope and recovery. Their GRAMMY performance came on the heels of a heartfelt tribute at the FireAid benefit concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, where Dawes shared the stage with musical icons like Stephen Stills and Mike Campbell. Prior to the musical performances, Dawes had been deeply affected by the wildfires, with both Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith experiencing significant losses. Taylor lost his home studio and valuable musical equipment, while Griffin's Altadena home was destroyed in the Eaton fire. The band's commitment to supporting their community extended beyond music, with Taylor Goldsmith emphasizing the importance of collective action and reminding fans of the tight-knit nature of the musical community.
