    The High Hawks

    The High Hawks

    For the uninitiated, the High Hawks are a Bluegrass/Americana music supergroup featuring members of Leftover Salmon, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, Hard Working Americans, Railroad Earth and Great American Taxi. Mother Nature’s Show is actually the band’s sophomore effort and demonstrates a lot of growth in this band’s combined effort. I caught up with Vince Herman Leftover Salmon’s frontman and one of the High Hawks vocalists and guitar players and Chad Staehly the High Hawks keyboard player to get a status check on the band’s evolution, the song writing process and how Mother Nature’s Show came together. 

     

    First song: Temperature Is Rising

    Second song: Top Shelf, Rock Bottom

Adam Weinberg ,

Great interviewer

Love the podcast. Got first introduced to Ira and his podcast through Reed Mathis a while back (which remains one of my favorite musician interviews ever) and have been enjoying it every since. The Sound Podcast is great asset to our scene!

Dave Ruch ,

Great interviewer

Ira is very well researched as an interviewer and asks great questions that get his guests thinking and talking in new ways about what they do. Highly recommended!

Mandra ✨ ,

Groovy baby
