Label: The Long Road Society

In their debut album Last Spring, DAWN RIDING has crafted a project that is somehow fierce, intimate, outlaw, passionate, and psychedelic, all at the same time. Having cut their teeth in basements, underground venues, and punk houses around the country, it only made sense for Dawn Riding’s debut to come to life in a dusty mid-fi recording studio run out of a San Francisco garage. The eight psych-tinged songs that came out of the Last Spring sessions unveil the stories of songwriter SARAH ROSE JANKO's fabled friendships, renegade icons, and uncompromising ethos, and serve as a perfect introduction to Dawn Riding’s dreamy, gritty sound. It’s an album for loners & relentless romantics, full of emotional casualties, resilient heroes, and living close to the edge.

Songwriter Sarah Rose Janko grew up lonely watching blues and rock and roll bands at her dad’s bar and singing herself to sleep. After living in New York City and New Orleans and wandering around the country aimlessly, she settled in Oakland, Ca where she met Hall McCann who learned to harmonize in church and rides a motorcycle. Together they are the voice of Dawn Riding singing tales of heartache, friendship, struggle and love. Accompanied by drummer Jasmyn Wong (Sky Green Leopards, Paula Frazer, The Sarees) this trio brings a raw emotionally rich sound that belongs to long nights and slow dancing, dirt roads and day dreaming, legends and laying low.
