Dames: Live at Woodlawn

On November 8th, under the dreamy glow of string lights and table lamps, Dylan Dames gave St. Pete a taste of his upcoming EP. This two-hour long backyard performance featured his singles “Lady of Mine,” and “The Feeling Between Us,” as well as covers of songs by Anderson Paak, Chaka Khan, and more. Dames’s silky voice was accompanied by singers Astrid McIntyre and Carol Larrinaga. Sharing the deck stage, Josh Rodriguez was on bass, James Brimson on guitar and sound, and Jovanni Salas on drums. Together, the band brought new life to the sounds of Blues and Funk in front of a small but overwhelmingly appreciative audience. The concert, which was funded through donations and ticket sales, was the first of his St. Pete appearances to entirely star Dames. His EP, yet to be named publicly, will be released early next year.
