Hello Hawk Needs a New Lead Singer
Posted on Dec 30, 2009 at 10:57 PM by
I'm sorry to announce that Jill will be leaving the band. We're sad to see her go. She's a great person and a great friend and we wish her the best for the future (she's actually leaving the band to pursue her dream of traveling through time (in a delorean)). And no matter what happens, we'll always have Roburrito's.
So... that means we need a new lead singer. Here's a breakdown of what we're looking for:
- Be a lady. Sorry, no dudes. I provide more than enough testosterone for the whole band.
- Age: 18-29
- Live in the central PA area - Harrisburg, Carlisle, York, Lancaster, etc.
- Have a strong confident voice - as in Jill Ambrose formerly of Hello Hawk, Hayley Williams of Paramore or Karen O of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs.
- Willingness to work HARD to promote the band. We do a lot of self promotion and it works best if everyone helps out.
- Have good stage presence - or at least be willing to work at it. Our shows are a lot like an episode of the Sonny and Cher show. There's some music, some sketch comedy, and inevitably some crying... usually from Steve and/or the audience.
- Be available nights and weekends. We practice twice a week and play shows on the weekend (although sometimes some mid-week shows pop up).
Previous band experience is a plus, but not necessary. We have a lot of shows coming up and are looking for someone who can jump in and learn the songs right away. We are currently writing songs for a full length album that we plan to record with the new singer.
We work hard, but we have a lot of fun - and sometimes we eat very large cheeseburgers.
If you want more information, or are interested in scheduling an audition, email me at: eric@hellohawk.com.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Hey guys, I meet all of those requirements except I'm not 18. ): I'm really looking for a great band to play with and I'm available almost everyday. (we'll have to work something out) I have been singing since I was able to talk and I love singing and performing. My stage presence is amazing. I'm fun and corky, but I still have a serious side and I like to get things done. Music is my passion and I've already had a lot of chances to pursue my dream of becoming a singer. By the way, I prefer to be called Mandy instead of Amanda, thanks. Sorry that I don't meet the age requirement. I hope you can look past that, or maybe help by finding a younger band somehow. Anyways, have a great day. God Bless!
