I See Hawks in L.A.
I SEE HAWKS IN L.A. are Southern California's leading alt country/Americana/folk rock band, with nine critically acclaimed releases (#10 release "On Our Way" August 27, 2021). The Hawks are noted for their lyrical celebrations of earth and ecosphere, odes to the endless highway, and wry social commentary. They've gathered a loyal tribe around the globe from many U.S. and Europe/UK tours, consistently rave reviews from critics, and a serious presence in the top 10 of the Freeform American Roots chart (#1 four times, including a #1 debut for "Live And Never Learn"), the Americana Chart, and the Euro Americana chart.
Formed in 1999 by Rob Waller and brothers Paul and Anthony Lacques during a philosophical discussion and rock throwing session on an East Mojave desert trek, I See Hawks In L.A. first gathered on the front porch in Echo Park, Los Angeles, drank whiskey and wrote their first batch of songs. They then sought advice from local country rock guru David Jackson (John Denver, Dillard & Clark, Emmylou Harris). Jackson promptly joined the Hawks for their first recording, featuring legendary fiddler Brantley Kearns (Dwight Yoakam, Dave Alvin). The CD established the Hawks signature sound: dense three part harmonies, innovative telecaster and steel, and also unadorned all acoustic songs, musing on mortality, whales, and the geography of pre-apocalyptic L.A.
Pandemic 2020 brought tour cancellations and serious isolation, but the Hawks became studio rats, recording (in home studios) an acoustic/electric single "Radio Keeps Me On The Ground," released in May, a collaboration with fellow L.A. folkies Great Willow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9k6quVglrM
