GENRE: Americana // Jam // Bluegrass ABOUT THE ARTIST The word supergroup gets overused to describe side musical projects, but it's apt and well-earned when it comes to The High Hawks. With nearly 150 years of collective touring and playing between them, Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth, Blue Sparks From Hell), Chad Staehly (Hard Working Americans), Adam Greuel (Horseshoes & Hand Grenades), Brian Adams (DeadPhish Orchestra) and Will Trask (Great American Taxi) have maintained a generation-spanning presence at the forefront of the roots music scene for over two decades. But talk to the band members, and you'll find that their reasons for getting together were much more down to earth. “Sometimes you meet somebody and you hit it off, and you feel like, 'Man, I don't want to just look at the cover, I want to read that book,'” says guitarist Adam Greuel with a laugh. “It's a tight-knit music community in our Americana-bluegrass-jam band world. Over the years, we all kept bumping into one another and realizing there was a deep sense of fellowship and kindred spirit. The main impetus to form The High Hawks was really a curiosity about one another, both musically and personally. This band came out of a yearning to hang out. HIGH HAWKS WEBSITE Sun Beard began in 2014 as a recording project fronted by Chicago-based songwriter/guitarist, Matt Robinson. Sparked by fireside jams with friends that blazed forth into the studio setting, the first incarnation of Sun Beard was a collaboration with more than dozen musicians contributing to the 2015 release of the debut album, The Night. After performing a handful of shows with rotating lineups in support of the record, Sun Beard serendipitously solidified its lineup in the fall of 2018 with a breakout performance at Shoe Fest. Keeping in the project’s original spirit of drawing from diverse talent on Chicago’s music scene, the lineup featured Janis Wallin on bass (Family Groove Company), Scott Tipping on guitar (Backyard Tire Fire, Cornmeal), and Jonathan Reed on drums (Old Shoe), along with original founder Matt Robinson. SUN BEARD WEBSITE The High Hawks Vince Herman, Tim Carbone, Adam Greuel, Chad Staehly, Brian Adams, Will Trask, Sun Beard SPACE is a live music hall in Evanston, Ill., established in 2008.
