This year has brought massive change for so many people around the world. Everybody has been affected by this pandemic, wherever you live and whatever you do. For the live music fans, we miss that energy, that connection. Shows and Distancing, my third album and first live album, has arrived at a time where I hope at least some sense of relief and nostalgia can be provided to you.
Recorded throughout last year on the road in the USA, this record takes you through support sets with Justin Hayward (Moody Blues), headline shows, a live duet from Los Angeles and even excerpts from my first ever headline concert from over the pond. New York, Florida and California, three of my favourite places. I hope to return soon!
In addition to the record, I am excited to announce a one off live streaming event from my home in the U.K. on November 1st. The album and concert ticket can be purchased as a bundle from this link: tinyurl.com/cdandconcertbundle
I'm incredibly proud of this record and the quality of the audio captured. Josh Clark's mixes are SUPERB. I'll be releasing live videos every week for the foreseeable future so don't forget to hit 'SUBSCRIBE' to be notified x

[@calebscrazyamazinglife1795]

The fact that he can play the most difficult songs on guitar cleanly and be so interactive with the audience is amazing

[@toploadtele]

5-Stars! ★★★★★ Who else is here because of Beato? He's turned me on to another one... Thanks Rick!

[@stevestanley1114]

Me

[@jamesblack9198]

Me as well

[@JakeWalters]

🤣 me.

[@terrypogue]

Why i never miss rick beato . This fellow is magnificent.

[@carlabrunell9781]

Me too, big fan of Mike dawes now. Never heard of him til beato

[@-Ghxst-]

We living in era that guitar player like this is underrated. He is whey better than some legend guitar players ever existed.

[@Hexalyse]

This second song really brought back the kid in me. I was staring at the screen in awe, with open mouth, absorbed into what I was listening to. Like a kid being so much into a cartoon that the world around doesn't exist anymore. Thank you for this little trip.

[@mikedawesofficial]

That’s sweet. You’re welcome!

[@joekatsala]

After a long break from playing guitar, this has given me the courage to quit for good.

[@mattparks8434]

I love watching virtuosos and no matter how good the guitar player, I'm still always amazing at how clean you play. Don't get me wrong, as a musician and audio engineer, I understand the hours that go into being this good without mistakes....but still.....I can't get over how clean you play and how composed you are when pulling of difficult techniques constantly. Your arranging and style are amazing, you're phrasing and dynamic stability are impeccable, and I just can't get enough. Thank you and keep doing you brotha. Much love.

[@eoghanoreilly74]

The 4 who gave thumbs down have just given up playing the guitar.

[@toddharmon8141]

And probably pretty much everything else......

[@juliesadler6481]

Mike's on a whole different level. Beautiful, complex, extraordinary.

[@ianmclean5541]

Without the aid of video, one would think they were hearing a guitarist, a bassist, and a percussionist on stage. Phenomenal!

[@vyvynylification]

The emotion on his face at the very end was so amazing to see. Mike Dawes is definitly one of my guitar heroes.

[@thepainter5728]

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have seen and met Mike in Providence, R.I. when he opened for Justin Hayward (Moody Blues). I was blown away by his dexterity on the fretboard, very reminiscent of Eddie VanHalen's querky sounds. Amazing player, with long/thin fingers like Robert Johnson. He was really down to earth, and I was thrilled to get his CD signed, before he becomes "unreachable" to the public. AMAZING player!

[@LuhungSwantara]

The Old Room's ambience reverb sounds amazing! 🤤

[@jzwier702]

Technique and acoustic melody, unbeatable. Truly a gifted musician. Thank you, Sir.

[@bidyutdatta5042]

Mike Dawes is arguably the best Acoustic Guitarist of our time. Genius'

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

Agreed sir..

[@realdevbro447]

There's also the Iranian guy.

[@Allsystemsaredown]

No argument from me...

[@dontrwooshmeimtrolling4003]

nah thats gotta be marcin patrzalek

[@harper6692]

what about alexandir misko?

[@lannyseals2084]

It's insane how crisp and clean his hammer on and pull offs are! Has to be one of or if not the best acoustic guitar player I have ever seen play! It's just ridiculous how good you are Mike!

[@mickkollins]

I'd bet if ya asked him he'd take his hat off to John Martyn and Bert Jansch....

[@stevewaite7317]

True talent thanks

[@sk8ermGs]

@@mickkollins only because he’s a nice guy not because it’s true

[@kiasax2]

As a guy who has seen some of the cream of the crop players, Lanny Seals, Mike is the very best. Also, I've been playing guitar for 55 years, so I do know a thing or 3. I am a fan of Mike Dawes. Full stop.

[@donpaladino]

I had the VERY good fortune to see him with Tommy Emmanuel at the Coach House out here in SoCal in mid-December 2022. What a show!

[@frederickzajicek9219]

Always searching for a awesome guitar artist..... found one...Amen

[@ireneleung5644]

Magic! Saw Mike Dawes live at Justin Hayward’s concert in Clearwater FL’s Capital Theater on Oct.15th,2021. His performance was SPECTACULAR!

[@andriesscheper2022]

Where I was born the locals often used understatements. To give an example: when somebody asked if the food had been tasty, one would answer: "I didn't have much problems to get it in". And the music? Well, I'm impressed, and that's an understatement!

[@zanusbluesman]

This is pure gold on fire! Wow!

[@dtdyvr]

this guy is unbelievable.

[@samlee2562]

It's amazing seeing someone do whatever they can imagine with an instrument

[@daslous89]

He's probably the best! There are so many greats but he has opened a new avenue for playing the guitar!

[@arildboes]

Thanks man! Your music is "larger than life" - whatever that means. I get the chills. It is Brilliant!

[@wallsmile6184]

Very beautiful. Healthy and very happy Mike Dawes sensei.

[@brad4751]

its on thing to listen to mikes work , but to have followed him for many years its amazing to see the extra accents and texture with every year , a true entertainer , much love mike

[@robertawinjum7997]

The music is really beautiful, but until you see him playing you really have no idea of how it's being done--it's so physical and intricate. I saw Mike play in Nashville a couple of weeks ago and was blown away. I'm really glad these videos are available to watch over and over. Wishing you every success, Mike, and I hope you never tire of making music like this!

[@mikeharrington3412]

My wife and I saw Mike and Tommy Emanuel at the Egg in Albany. What a fantastic show. Two extremely gifted musicians. I believe God was playing through them. Feel blessed to have heard and seen them. Thankyou men, please keep playing , performing and composing as long as you can and enjoy it

[@davidwilliams5497]

I never stop being impressed by how clean and effortless his harmonics are.

[@philopitojiki1741]

hello Mr. Mike thank you very much for sharing your music, its melodies which transport you to a world of your own and where we want to follow you on these paths rich in all these captivating notes, continued to walk on these paths, I always follow, again a big thank you.

[@aleckx123]

How not to subscribe and just love the dreams you bring in our life. Thank you Mike, we love your music. Yes this is all about music and love imo

[@headhuntergemini6906]

My favourite acoustic guitarist ever....Love you all the way✌

[@the_first_woodwizard]

Not much gives me goose bumps anymore until my ears met Mike Dawes. Close you eyes and listen, imagine you hadn't seen Mike play on stage. The array of sounds you're hearing can't possibly be made by one person. So crisp and creatve. Thanks for the performance Mike!

[@hansstauffenberg5673]

Dear Mike, thanks for sharing your gift with the world. The first time I heard, "The Old Room" I couldn't stop crying as it brought to mind my beloved father who was my best friend on this lonely Earth, and who passed away in my arms in the same old room where we shared so many joys of just being in each other's company. The last few seconds of that piece is so intense, that my father's spirit actually visits me and I am able to communicate and speak with him. Dear Almighty God, thank you for Mike Dawes and his gift that helped me transcend this lonely world and be with my father and best friend once again, if only in spirit. The power of music, tis truly Godly. Thank you, Mike Dawes, you are so appreciated😘🤗🙏

[@patrickian8843]

I just received this CD a couple of weeks ago and, I thoroughly enjoy listening to it!

[@mr1pearl]

Its like an adventure with you no , I close my eyes and dream of some far off land so peaceful ! Thanks for the trip and thanks for sharing

[@charlewis715]

Astonishingly beautiful music. Your playing takes my breath away! ❤

[@APfishing_guitar_statistics]

You are a truly incredible musician and composer/arranger. Thanks, too, to Rick Beato for introducing me to Mike. Hope you perform sometime soon near Surrey, your old stomping ground. I’ll be there if you do.

[@369dusty]

WOW ! Absolutely brilliant ! He can do anything with his guitars !

[@cothedo]

I love your music, Mike. It seems to me you've taken the technique of Michael Hedges and taken it to the next level. So well played and a joy to listen to!

[@violetflame23]

I agree Emiel. I heard much of Michael Hedges in The Impossible. As a guitar player myself, I can't believe what Mike does with his instrument. His playing to me is other-worldly.

[@Elpuma1374]

WOW!! I can only say that his kind of guitar playing transport me on to another galaxy; simply amazing. Thank you to Rick Beato for bringing this gem on to the light. Thank you Mike for all your hard work to keep us entertained with your wonderful talent, be safe and be well. Greetings from Méjico!!

[@rolandalfonso6954]

Glorious. I shoulda watched this in the evening, sipping a tumbler of 25 year old single malt Scotch by Glenlivet. This. Is. Mr. Dawes. And you bet it got shared.

[@marianacamelia3947]

Great, great Hit! Ameizing! Congras!

[@user-on5lb9ew9x]

This is wonderful !!! Thank you!!!

[@jphilli7929]

Yes, I ended up here due to a Rick Beato review but I saw Mike Dawes with Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues in Portland Maine 2 or 3 years ago.

[@mateojimenez5905]

I love hearing u play!!

[@jimscouten6092]

Simply an amazing acoustic guitar player! Mike is the perfect example of putting a guitar in the right hands!!! I don't play acoustic but I really appreciate watch those who play it, I play old school heavy metal, Metallica, etc... I am 57 years old and who I looked up to when I started learning guitar was Country blue grass artist Roy Clark!! Then I heard Jimi Hendrix and dropped the acoustic quickly and bought a electric guitar and haven't looked back ever since. Each generation has a musician that stands out from the rest and I believe Mike is on his way to achieve that!! Sky is the limit my friend, kick a hole in the sky!! Keepin an eye on you!!

[@neleig]

Mind melting virtuosity!

[@charlinoux51]

Simply magical ❤️

[@stickydickrick]

Fucking hell this guy is soo talented. My father has just passed away from cancer, and he really loved the song oceans by John butler. I wish I could have shown him this guy😔😔😔

[@groovethestrings]

Sounds just fantastic! You're amazing *Mike*

[@llamamusicchannel7688]

Boogie Shred will be forever one of my favourite acoustic songs So much love for your amazing skills ♥️

[@stephenallpress3166]

Great performance Mike, really enjoyed it, peace Brother 👍

[@darrencarter5612]

I am never not blown away watching Mike Daws....Please when are you touring the UK...I must see you him Live !

[@sshafer1950]

Mike, your work is extraordinary! I love it. What a gift.

[@cherylhopkins6286]

Beautiful, Mike - as always. You are amazing to watch and listen to. Soothing for the soul - esp. this year!

[@pasqualedilorenzo9089]

Another Universe

[@lukegoddard3368]

Such feeling, virtuosity and flare. Thank you for sharing this. Super inspiring

[@astaboy]

Can't love this enough.

[@tentacionxxx3994]

Thank you for peaceful tone mike

[@godzer9382]

Oh dude, Boogie Shred was my first video that I have seen of Mike Dawes and since I didn't stop to watch him!

[@DianeLee999]

Mike, I have followed one other guitarist whose work was/is far afield of the “expectations” most have for the acoustic instrument. When Michael Hedges passed away, he left a realm of the art unoccupied or only partially filled by a few artists. I can now say that you have not only inhabited that neglected realm, but are expanding Michael’s “Aerial Boundaries.” You wear the mantle gracefully, Mike. The gentleness you exude when playing is sheer stillness. Carry on! I’ll be listening. Diane 🎆

[@sommerssamantha]

It's a true magic! Unbelievable nice!

[@tatianashifer9271]

Such exquisite workmanship! ❤️💙❤️💙

[@stevenbrooks8983]

I found this style of guitar playing when a friend showed me Andy Mckee. Until now I haven't really seen or heard anyone who is on that level. This is amazing. Your creativity is unreal.

[@dianefarrell2343]

This is UNREAL...I'm completely taken back and awed!!

[@daina12000]

So Beautiful! - just like his playing yep 5 stars absolutely!!

[@dickiedick100]

Compleet different new style which I really love. This is so beautifull 😍😍

[@D1ARBO]

Genius. This is what happens when talent collides with talent and then has a baby called talent.

[@marlenamarlena9679]

Just beautiful...😌

[@MrMacGaunaa]

This just leaves me breathless. Amazing

[@grady876876]

Just brilliant

[@stuckintrees4796]

The most incredible thing I’ve ever experienced. Thank You. For sharing yourself with all of us.🙏

[@shawnnorrell1686]

Incredible!!! 👍👍👍

[@GuitarMBoy]

Sensacional.

[@Sont256]

Mike, phenomenal playing!

[@PhilTaylorGuitar]

This is amazing. Mike is the only 'percussive' guitarist I can listen to. Superb live sound as well......

[@daroushmusic]

I feel your music is coming from the heaven .

[@chriscortez7010]

Hey Mike! Always a fan! Please come to Singapore man!

[@eggsclusive12]

STUNNING

[@daroushmusic]

No no no no wait wait ! is that for real ? LOL .... LLLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEEDDDDD IT .

[@ianmclean5541]

Eddie Van Halen was a master technician of electric guitar and now we have Mike Dawes who is a master technician of acoustic guitar, like Eddie who pulled sounds from his instrument nobody else conceived possible.

[@egc3086]

Hats off!

[@CorM1]

Yes he is the best ever:)

[@johnmichael5348]

Thanks Rick

[@josejgomezq3810]

Mike Dawes the best

[@RobBaartwijk]

Yes Mike, Rick made you a star now! :) Great playing, thank you. Please yell loudly when you play in The Netherlands!

[@terrypogue]

Thanks!

[@brankobida9229]

Brilliant

[@casadekool-lifeonthefarm5933]

I wish he would do a midwest date in Michigan or Ohio. I would love to see him play.

[@speedbreaker6914]

G.O.A.T

[@johnnixon1026]

First saw you on Rick Beato’s show! Can not believe your talent! It is truly off the charts

[@jasonamattatall]

Man you are talented.

[@TheCosmicHubble]

It will be paradise if Mike Dawes and Estas Tonne jam together.

[@irfanbozkurt1728]

very impressive...

[@stefanogramignan7527]

Semplicemente il migliore. The Best. Mitico numero uno👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻

[@xXsev144Xx]

The old room is an amazing piece of music thank you mike dawes... in that song I hear the sound of antique furniture creaking while long lost memories and fantasies come to life... it's pure art

[@MarkusAliasCmn]

brilliant as we know you.

[@achilles6445]

The last one was the epitome of melody
