Chad RedLightofDawn is an Americana-soul artist whose music carries the voice of the people through raw analog expression.
Growing up in Minnesota and now based in North Bend, WA, Chad is a lifelong musician and blue-collar home builder. He delivers songs that carry his values of integrity and authenticity. Recording entirely to tape—no edits, no computers, no AI—he has proven to be a songwriter who embraces perfect imperfections, the ways of the old way.
His journey with music began at 5 years old as a drummer. His craft later expanded as a multi-instrumentalist, where he fronted bands as a singer and supported touring acts as both a drummer and keyboardist. He honed his singer-songwriter skills busking in Seattle’s world-famous Pike Place Market in his formative years.
Today, he has come into his most authentic expression as a solo artist, with raw acoustic guitar accompanied by his deep, seasoned, soulful voice.
Summer 2026 brings a collection of original songs spanning two EPs, Love Songs for Entropy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, along with a summer tour through WA, ID, and Montana.
