BAND BIO:
This is the story behind the chemistry of Freedom Hawk. It started with T.R. and Mark in 1996, two guys that had been just playing their instruments by themselves. They met through a mutual friend who played music.  For years they just goofed off, jamming with different drummers, but never got anything together.  T.R. moved to Florida, but they both continued to play on their own with other musicians.  T.R. moved back in 2000 and had a four track and they started to record their jams.

They met Lenny through a mutual friend in 2004 who had been in a ton of bands before they met. Lenny is a pure jam drummer who also clicked.  He was interested in and liked the style of music they were playing; raw sloppy rock but they all felt the changes and knew which direction to go next.  They continued for about a year, when Lenny wanted to put some structure to the jams and turn them into songs.  T.R. wanted to fatten up the sound and add another guitarist.  They found and played with a couple of guitarists but it didn't work out.  That's when Mark's brother Matt came in 2005 and also clicked.  Matt was an awesome lead guitarist, and was musically trained, which helped them further the sound.  He was the final piece that made the band complete.  They recorded a demo that tightened up four songs and showed them the way to tighten up the rest.

The first name they came up with was Down Green Well, which came from where they practiced.  They played a few shows under that name but the band didn't want to keep it.  T.R. didn't feel it represented the sound and changed it to Freedom Hawk without consulting band.  It was supposed to change from Freedom Hawk to something else but never did.

That's the story, simple jams turned into songs, powerful with groove, rock and roll from the soul.
