Folk rock troubadours Night Hawk will perform a double-headline set with NYC indie rockers Whiskey Ginger and support from Aedan MacDougall. 25% of the proceeds will be donated to The Amica Center for Immigrant Rights.
Under the soft shadow of the Blue Ridge, a merry band of city slickers and suburbanites swerved around a bend, tumbled from their vehicle, telecasters and harmonicas in hand, and immediately put pens to paper.
Four days later, they emerged with the outlines of “Somewhere, Anywhere” a small, feisty collection of indie folk songs, simmering with the scuzzy grit and DIY-spirit of D.C.’s punk underground and the witty storytelling and subtle finger-picking of mountain folk music.
Night Hawk has always been a band of many faces.
From performing Edward Hopper-inspired compositions for the Whitney Museum of Art to recording with alt-country wunderkind, Colin Miller (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza), they have never allowed genre or form to encumber their storytelling instincts.
On their third independent release, the band remains unabashedly eclectic, but finds new cohesion in the warmth of resilient friendships and road-tested comradery, and dare they acknowledge, blooming romance.
Even as the clouds on the horizon darken, Night Hawk’s hearth glows bright with strengthened purpose, as the band’s primary lyricist Peyton Semjen personifies and tames dark inclinations—anxiety, embarrassment—to make room for love and musical ambition.
Somewhere, Anywhere is out on all platforms on April 4, 2025.
