Live Videos | Dawson Cowals

Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
“Cowals’ tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist’s flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel.” —Kelly O’Neil

0 “Fearfully Wonderfully Made” – (Live)

I finally got a chance to record a live version of this new song I wrote back in April just this past Father’s Day. It was a great way to celebrate my first official Father’s Day singing a song I wrote for my precious little girl! This song is written as a prayer from her to God proclaiming that she is “fearfully, wonderfully made!” The lyrics come almost word for word from several scripture passages including Psalm 139:13-18 and Psalm 22:9-10.

0 “Big Enough” – (Live)

I’ve been busy lately getting the house ready for our new baby and haven’t had much time for songwriting but here is a new song finally! This song was inspired mostly by a quote that Bryan Duncan shared on twitter by Oswald Chambers which lead me to look up the full devotional the quote came from. Which in turn lead me to look up several scriptures and start writing this new song! Ha!

“Our misgivings begin within ourselves when we tell Jesus that our circumstances are just a little too difficult for Him.”
—Oswald Chambers

0 “Aloha `Oe” (Live at Keahou Bay)

I grew up in Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii back in the 1980s while my parents were missionaries with YWAM. Kona will always be home even when we live elsewhere and my wife and I recently had the chance to take a 2 week trip to visit Kona again after 5 years!

I’ve been starting to work on learning to play the ukulele and learning some Hawaiian songs so I’m still a bit of a novice on it. I had the chance to record this version of the beautiful song Aloha `Oe (Farewell to Thee) by Queen Lili`uokalani out by Keahou Bay on our last day in the Islands. As this song is a tender song of farewell it seemed appropriate. Hopefully we will return soon! Until we meet again… A hui hou aku!

0 “Keep Me In Your Heart” – (Live)

I know it’s been over 3 months since I was last able to upload a new song, so here at last is a new song! I started writing this song back in June of 2012 and just finished it this month. It pulls from several scriptures that talk about hiding God’s word in our heart and making room for Jesus in our heart. As it says in Ezekiel, God will replace our hearts of stone with a new one of flesh and put his Spirit in us, where he will come and dwell.

0 Shoutout from Golconda Fort in Hyderabad, India

So we’ve been in Hyderabad, India for 7 days so far on a business trip and will be heading home to the US on Sunday the 23rd. Today we visited the amazing Golconda Fort (also known as Golkonda). Here’s a short little video I shot from the 400 foot top of the massive fort after climbing the more than 1,000 steps to get to the top. The music playing in the background is a sneak peek at an early mix of the next single, “Peace.”
