'The vital sound of the download generation' Expansive, modern and anthemic, Barry Hawk's music combines present-day urban influences with traditional songcraft to create a sound that is at once classic and totally 21st century. Modern reflections on the world result in music that blends the best of funk, rock, hip-hop and acoustic music 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 plying his trade in his native Ireland. He's also led various line-ups under the name Wonderland. Collaborating extensively with musical marvel Keith Moss on guitars and vox, Hawk has come up with a collection of anthems reflective of human yearning in the digital age. "With a daring, urgency and energy sadly lacking in today's bland music scene Hawk is the vital sound of the download generation."
