Dashboard Confessional
One of the quintessential artists of the 2000s emo movement, Dashboard Confessional has not only created undeniable anthems, but continues to lead the pack wherever they go to this day. Formed by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba, the honesty and rawness in his strong vocal delivery has resonated with audiences around the world with songs like “Hands Down,” “Vindicated,” and “Screaming Infidelities,” which continue to be anthems of a millennial generation. After a lengthy hiatus, Carrabba reformed Dashboard Confessional with their 2018 release titled Crooked Shadows, showcasing the incredible talents of both his skills as an acoustic intimate songwriter and frontman of a rock band.
