We are super stoked to have Chad Staehly from The High Hawks as our guest on No Simple Road this week! In mythology, the hawk is often associated with intuition, healing, spiritual awareness, unification. They seem to appear when you need them most, evoking a feeling of clarity, focus, or maybe courage. The six members of this outfit met on the road touring across America, admiring one another as musicians and characters. When they finally came together in Vince Herman's living room in the Colorado high country, it wasn't apparent what kind of music would be made. What ended up happening was six friends transfiguring into The High Hawks, born of deep respect for one another, a musical openness and curiosity, and a love of those musicians and characters that flew before them!We talk with Chad about winging it into playing their first show, what it was like creating the new self-titled album, saying what needs to be said with your music with love, what comes from an energetic connection with your brothers while playing, the love of the Grateful Dead, and a whole bunch more!Make sure to check out more with The High HawksSONG AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE: 'Singing A Mountain Song' off the album 'The High Hawks'SONG AT THE END OF THE EPISODE: 'Blue Earth' off the album 'The High Hawks'20% off with Melophy PROMO CODE: NSRFREE SHIPPING FROM Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroadFor 20% off Sunset Lake CBD PROMO CODE: NSR20 For 10% off Electric Fish Lights PROMO CODE: NSR INTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:ESCAPEROUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:CHILLDREN OF INDIGONo Simple Road is part of OSIRIS MEDIA.
