| 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 band currently covers songs from the major disciplines that forms the blues genre. This includes, but is not limited to Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Texas Blues and Blues Rock. While the roots of the blues is the foundation for the music, The Hawks Blues Band infuses their own interpretation of this music to create a sound and styling of the blues that is uniquely their own while still holding true to the fundamentals of the blues genre. |
