| Description: | Dave Hawkins is the singer, songwriter, and guitarist from the cities of Chicago (Rogers Park, Evanston, Libertyville, Lake Bluff), Tulsa, and New Orleans (Metairie). Contary to his avian moniker, "Hawkman" is more cicada-like as he climbs onto the scene after many seasons underground. For years, people traveled the country and world with shaky, hissing audio tapes of his songs, but a new day has come with the release of DRIVEN TO THE STRINGS. Dave's songs come from the idea that music is a place where flesh and spirit meet, so his songs go high, deep, and wide. He thoughtfully explores the range and essence of human experience through haunting melodies, soulful vocals, a strong poetic sense, intermittent injections of humor, and a variety of musical styles. DRIVEN TO THE STRINGS (produced by SUEDE at Darwin Records) features the talent and genius of many of Chicago's & Los Angeles' finest musicians and engineers, all of whom graciously accepted the invitation to be a part of Hawkman's latest project. Watch and listen. Now that Dave has emerged into the air and light, he will no longer be residing underground. |
