Dawn Kinnard doesn’t need a biography. She needs professional help. Or that’s at least what you or I might prescribe. But that’s because we subscribe to the traditional approach to self perception and method of understanding our own place in the universe. In reality, there’s nothing wrong with her, she does things a little differently.

She drinks Guinness for a start; which isn’t that strange I suppose but is maybe a little odd for a woman who was born and raised by a loving mother and Preacher father in the US state of Pennsylvania; a long way away from The Emerald Isle. “I’m an old fat man, stuck in a girl’s body”. However, Dawn and the silky black beverage do share an intrinsic quality; an impenetrable dark cloudy exterior that holds a mystery within.

Those familiar with her 2008 album ‘The Courtesy Fall’ will already know her smoky, raspy voice which encapsulates sadness and songs which explore themes such as solitude and lost love through insightful tales full of witty lyrics and black humour. Despite her chosen topics, she’s not the melancholic, manic depressive mess you might imagine, well not in person anyway “I love being around people and having fun. It’s when I’m alone that the noose comes out”. So with so many songs that appear on the surface as laments over failed relationships or letters to past lovers, who was the person who sent her down the rabbit hole of introspection? “Actually, I’ve never been in love”, this where her enigmatic persona kicks in, there’s just no telling when she’s being straight up. Like her songs, she may say one thing but means something completely different.
