Is this real life or a Nicholas Sparks novel?  Closing a honey-hued summer with a sunset and live music will be Dawes (and the sun, I guess), and this sounds too good to be true.

Well, believe it. The alt-rock, country-tinted quartet will be playing a free show along with Sonny & the Sunsets (how fitting) at the Santa Monica pier on Thursday, September 1st, and it's sure to be bittersweet as you reflect lovingly on the past three months while dreading the hangover you'll have tomorrow at work (don't worry, it's only one more day 'til the weekend).  Here are the details:

Who: Dawes and Sonny & The Sunsets
Where: Santa Monica Pier
When: Thursday, Sept. 1st at 7pm
Price: Free!
Age: All Ages

Claire Gallagher

Claire Gallagher is from Las Vegas, Nevada.  She grew up under blinking signs for Girls, Girls, Girls! and she hummed to the clanky sounds of slot machines in casinos and grocery stores and airports.   She now attends school at UCLA and is becoming very intimately acquainted with the kick-ass music scene Los Angeles so sweetly provides. When Claire is not on the back of a horse or playing with her pet snake, Skittles, she is listening to music, eating orange chicken, or spinning around in her rolly chair.  She is fond of tyrannosaurus rexes, John Steinbeck, and the fleeting feeling of post-concert deafness.  You can check her out on tumblr as well.
