“Breaking out songs from their first original album, Dear Nashville, as well as some covers, Whiskey Dawn brought line-dancing fans to their feet and non-believers to their knees. From their smooth as honey self-titled song, “Whisky Dawn,” to their dirge to nearby Elk Grove’s, “Grant Line Road,” this band is not afraid to admit they are California Country, and a hell of a lot of fun!” – SACRAMENTO PRESS
