ABOUT JACK DAWKINS

Jack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far.  His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use.   Most importantly, he loves you.
