About this Event
Join Compass Point, home of Dirty Girl Adventures, for a special night in The Backroom Bar with Singer, Songwriter, and storyteller Elexa Dawson. Elexa is amazing. Great voice, great writing, kind soul. We have loved hosting her at Compass Point and having her join us last year during our "Dirty Girls Go All the Way" at Camp White. Elexa is funny and wry; she's a great storyteller and is interactive with the audience throughout her performance.
Practitioner of the Soul
Elexa Dawson is a practitioner of the soul. Her red-dirt honey vocals and rhythmic guitar style deliver a sound that hits home. Both familiar and intriguing, her songs speak of the earth and community, and celebrate all relationships, from mother and child to friend and lover.
Hailing from her Potawatomi and Cherokee country home in Oklahoma and now living in Kansas, Dawson is best recognized for her work with Weda Skirts. Her 2019 solo debut album, "Music is Medicine" was awarded Best Country Recording at the Native American Music Awards, and her 2024 album, “Wanderlust”, co-created with Okie indie-rockers Stanley Hotel, soared to the top of the international folk charts with its soul-stirring journey across time, presenting ancestral channelings with an invigorating Americana soundscape. Elexa released her third studio album in September of this year, and it has received national attention. We can't wait for you to hear her perform in person!
Stay Put, Elexa's third studio album, charted on the NACC Folk Chart at #14 on its second week, and is on rotation on SiriusXM The Indigiverse!
This collection of stories, thoughtfully curated and recorded, is all about home, roots, and the element of earth. Where Wanderlust felt like flying on a rocket ship, this one celebrates the virtues of digging deep. Every song points to a truth about the importance of the places that made us.
