  • Nate Pyfer will be producing our album. He helped out much with our first record - did all the string arangements, and much of the beauty of that record is thanks to him. He also produced our good friends The Moth & The Flame.

  • A conceptual version of a song called "Save Me" recorded 100% live (sounds 'n all) - that may make it on the final album.

  • We literally googled "Parlor Hawk Fan" and other terms to find a few loyal fans. We also looked on facebook + Pinterest + Instagram to find a few. Don't be offended if you are not on there. It was completely random and we love you all.

  • From Wikipedia:

    Parlor Hawk is a folk rock band. Their music has drawn comparisons to Brett Dennen and Ryan Adams[1][2]

    Parlor Hawk released their debut album Hoarse & Roaring in the summer of 2010.[3] The album was produced by folk singer/songwriter Joshua James, mixed by Todd Burke (Ben Harper, Jack Johnson) and mastered by Reuben Cohen (Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack, Ingrid Michaelson, Bruno Mars).[4] The album features Brandon Campbell (bassist of Neon Trees) and Stuart Maxfield (singer of Fictionist).

    Hoarse & Roaring was featured on the July 2010 iTunes Indie Spotlight Podcast. In December the album was featured on the iTunes Indie Spotlight page as a "Best of 2010" Singer/Songwriter Album.[5][6] Music from the album also featured on the Yamaha Experience Music: A TuneCore Music Sampler which reached No. 1 on the Amazon.com Free MP3 Albums Chart with more than 20,000 downloads in the USA. In January 2011 their home state paper, The Salt Lake Tribune, singled the band out as 2011's Next Emerging Band.[7] They also won an award for Best Acoustic Song (for "Saddest Song") in the Independent Music Awards (2012) and were nominated for Best Album Art Work.[8][9]

    Parlor Hawk toured the United States in 2010 with Joshua James and The Desert Noises. They played a residency in Singapore in May 2011.

    The band have also played shows with mainstream and indie acts including: The Civil Wars, Train, Priscilla Ahn, Johnny Flynn, The Weepies, Matt Costa, Steven Page, Frontier Ruckus, Sharon Van Etten, Mindy Gledhill, Rocky Votolato, OK SWEETHEART, Julie Feeney, Carney, and many more.[10]
