Dawn creates its own music with a vintage sound, inspired by great prog rock bands. Dawn played several live performances: opening band for Kansas and Fish, Montreux Prog Nights, Progsol & Prog’Sud festivals.
Recorded in 2007, Loneliness is the first official record of Dawn. Loneliness was very well received by the critics and sold well for a self-produced album.
The album Darker was recorded in 2013 by Olivier Charmillot, mastered by Bob Katz and released by the american label The Laser’s Edge in April 2014.
