LONGER BIOGRAPHY
Elexa Dawson gives audiences something to cry about. Her hopeful messages cut through the mundane without sidestepping pain. Deeply connected to land, her songs speak of the earth and community, and celebrate all relationships, from mother and child to friend and lover.

ABOUT WANDERLUST
Deep in the red dirt country hills of Oklahoma, Elexa Dawson and Stanley Hotel built a spaceship. Wanderlust is described as “a soul-stirring journey through earth and sky.” Each song beckons the listener to sojourn through passages formerly unexplored. From the first song’s expedition to the outer limits of the human experience to the last guided meditation, delivering a message from the ancestors, this album is an epic quest worthy of your best traveling shoes. Each song is a stop on the tour, gathering sweet sentiments of loneliness, love, connection, and completion. Dance with the transient and get High on the Street, and the lovers with Rainbows in their eyes. There is such a Lot of Life to live. Sit out at night and gaze at the southwestern sky, listening to what the Lonely Coyote has to say. Go down where the honeysuckle grows with the Sweet Sisters. Mother Earth is always inviting us to stay a little while. The Will of the World will tug at your heartstrings, inspiring that irresistible Wanderlust that takes you on the adventure to find the Answer.
