Caleb Hawley to kick off tour in\u00a0<\/strong>New York City on August 1st<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Harlem’s Caleb Hawley is set to kick off his next tour in New York City on August 1st<\/sup>\u00a0and plans to visit a number of cities (see full tour schedule below) in the East and Midwest throughout the fall with dates in support of his forthcoming EP release, \u201cSide 2\u201d (which comes out September 9, 2014).\u00a0 After previously touring solo acoustic, Hawley hits the road now with a talented full band, multiplying the energy across the country. \u201cI used to love listening rooms,\u201d Hawley admits, “but now I pretty much just wanna get a party started.\u201d\u00a0Music Without Labels\u00a0<\/em>agrees, calling the stocked setup,\u00a0\u201ca fantastic show, full of danceable riffs and singalong choruses all held together by Hawley\u2019s tremendous charisma.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The American soul singer, songwriter and performer inhabits a musical space like\u00a0savvy throwback crooners Mayer Hawthorne and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, channeling early Stevie Wonder and other Motown sounds into a complete, magnetic package.\u00a0The Chicagoist<\/em>says, \u201cThe New York-based musician has a flair for soulful songwriting and a voice that will blow your hair back.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Raised in Minneapolis by a family of preachers and therapists, Hawley\u2019s family fueled\u00a0his on-stage charisma and perceptive, witty lyrics.\u00a0Hawley’s\u00a0grandfather hooked him on an early Ray Charles record, leading him into the fertile soul music of the \u201960s and \u201970s.\u00a0He spent his early 20s touring the country with only an acoustic guitar and his dog.\u00a0 In those years, Hawley racked up hundreds of gigs, along with multiple songwriting awards for the\u00a0John Lennon Songwriting Contest,\u00a0Telluride Troubadour Competition, SongCircle Contest, and more.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2014 marks the release of a pair of EPs:\u00a0Side 1<\/em>\u00a0(January 2014) and\u00a0Side 2\u00a0<\/em>(September 9, 2014). Hawley says, \u201cThey are a bit different stylistically, but each share my own voice artistically and literally.\u201d\u00a0Side 1<\/em>\u00a0is a time capsule from the \u201960s, employing a full string section from the NY Philharmonic to capture the authentic R&B sounds of the \u201960s and \u201970s.\u00a0Side 2<\/em>\u00a0brings us to the present with beefier beats and more modern production. Hawley\u2019s\u00a0vocal swagger, his old Alabama garage-found Harmony electric guitar, and live rhythm section tie the EPs together.\u00a0Lucius drummer and producer Dan Molad co-produced both with Hawley.\u00a0\u00a0Fans can pre-order \u201cSide 2\u201d here:\u00a0https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/side-2-ep\/id897522084<\/a>.
