The High Hawks are a group of musical friends who hail from various jam and Americana bands: Vince Herman, frontman and festival ring leader from Leftover Salmon; Tim Carbone, ace fiddler and multi-instrumentalist from Railroad Earth; Adam Greuel, singer and guitarist from Horseshoes & Hand Grenades; Chad Staehly, keyboardist from Hard Working Americans; Brian Adams, bassist for DeadPhish Orchestra; and Will Trask, drummer from Great American Taxi. The six musicians/raconteurs were looking for a way to play music together, so they formed The High Hawks in 2019 and released their eponymous debut in 2021. The band will release its second full-length album, Mother Nature’s Show, on Feb. 16, 2024, via indie roots label LoHi Records.
