Back from a great conference at Folk Alliance Region Midwest, now ready to book 2026!

I do talks, workshops and performances, spreading the goodness of Potawatomi culture and earthy connection. Specializing in house concerts, libraries, museums, universities and other educational settings.

Set the captives free.

Music has transformed the landscape of this maximum security state prison.

I expected a tough crowd and I got an enthusiastic audience who actively participated.

To top it off, I got to see a killer concert by Carswell and Hope, who nearly brought the big house down.

Another snow day for the teen. I overslept through an important meeting. I'm baking my first sourdough loaf from a new starter. Hibernation is still on, fam.

I'm seeking listening rooms in KS, OK, MO, CO and NM to book my solo Native Americana songwriter show! Can be coordinated with same-day educational programming at a partner organization.

Let me know who I should reach out to in your area!

Last night, I invited family members to join me on stage in OKC and we made some Roberts family band magic ✨ I feel incredibly grateful for them.

Hello Bluesky, I'm Elexa Dawson.

I am a songwriter, presenter, and cultural facilitator. I have two solo albums, a couple with Weda Skirts, and a handful more with Heyleon.

I founded Good Way Gardens, a land-based arts organization in Emporia, KS. I'm originally an Okie.

Good to be here.
