SongWriter Sessions @ The Locke Bar
Thursday 25th March 2010 9.00pm
The SongWriter Sessions@The Locke Bar, continues upstairs at The Locke Bar, George's Quay, Limerick 9.00pm Thurs 25th March 2010
This weeks special guest is Cork singer songwriter Barry Hawk
Promoting his current album '21st Century Bluez', Barry Hawk's music combines
present-day urban influences with traditional songcraft to create a
sound that is at once classic and yet totally of its time. Modern
reflections on the world are married to music that blends the best of funk,
rock,hip-hop and acoustic with radio-friendly hooks to create
songs that are original,contemporary and accessible.
Globetrotting Hawk has spent periods abroad in NYC, Barcelona,
Copenhagen, London and Turin as well as plying his trade in his native
Ireland. He's also led various line-ups under the name Wonderland, a
project of varied and diverse line-ups.
"With a daring, urgency and energy sadly lacking in today's bland
music scene Hawk is the vital sound of the download generation."
- Dennis Edwards, Chicago Underground
