Hawktail

Hawk tail trio with Vassen, tears were shed at the beauty of the polska

Fantastic concert, great pairing with Vasen

The venue is magnificent. Take in a show there sometime soon. Hawktail threesome arrived with Vasen twosome in tow, a wonderful Swedish band that has been an inspiration for a whole host of American musicians, among them the Hawktail trio. It quickly became clear that the personality of the gig belonged to the Vasen, spinning tales and providing a sort of quixotic comic relief. Tales of doing gigs whilst on a bike tour, without a word of explanation of how they transported their musical gear. Clearly they enjoyed speaking with their audience. And this was the Nyckelharpa's first visit to Wisconsin! The combined musicians were delightfully in tune with each other, the highlight being the most powerful rendition of UNLESS, Hawktail's signature tune (IMO). I was amazed. At the end of the concert I realized that I wanted it to begin over again at once, so that I could really listen more deeply. Here's hoping a concert CD is created soon.

Hawktail is awesome for its expertise and its creative music, but with Vasen the total was a night of pure strings joy!!

An outstanding show. Terrific musicianship, amazing compositions, and wonderful on-stage chemistry. Can’t wait to see Väsen and Hawktail again!

It is humorous of course to the bone, that I will again attempt to review an event that occurred in the past and which I did not attend. However, I want to attempt again just in case. You young'uns rocked it with a super fresh groove I would have loved to have witnessed. 'Jus saying, Britany I would drain your precious energy too much to have been there, but thanks for all you taught all of us who study you. I know I am typing in mumbling of different thoughts, but I luxuriate in the memories of the sounds you and your sister attract. Wintergrass to April I don't think the event I was at was this one, but I know it rocked just the way you wanted it to.

Great show and instrumentalist.

So much talent to grace the stage!!

OMG was this a good show! First time ever and it won't be the last. This is must see progressive bluegrass, new grass, or just plain old good music.

Incredible musicians and wonderful music.
