Elexa Dawson

about

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. "Stay Put" is Elexa's third release, coming in September of 2025. "Baling Hay" is the debut single, released in July. It's a song that feels like it already should be here, paying homage to a relatable character, a hard-working graceful guy who left a little too soon.
