| Bio |
|
The Hawks Blues Band are a group of guys who love the blues. Besides getting to play with other musicians who enjoy the blues - the group's primary purpose is to share the blues with others. We would like to pass on the Blue's legacy. It is our hope that we can spread a better understanding of what the blues are, where it came from, how it has affected music up till now, and how it fits into today's music. We want the blues and its progression to have a future. We hope that we can excite a younger generation to the possibilities - just as it did for Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Bonamassa, and other greats. We would hope to further the education of some of the "rockers" out there. And we hope to instill a love for the music for those who don't play - but just love to listen. We want to help the blues gain a bigger following. The Blues must not be forgotten. Help us - to Help you "feel the Blues." The Hawks Blues Band competed in this years BSWPA Blues Challenge. We didn't win, but we sure got their attention. We did manage to bring the room to a standing ovation for our performance. The Hawks Blues Band's live cd "It Ain't Cherry" is complete. You can get a copy of the cd at The Hawks' shows or you can find the album on Soundcloud. |
