Everybody's saying that Caleb’s the best thing that’s happened for music since…
Well, since ever!!! And Here’s the proof!!!
"Between his complex, yet very accessible sense of melody, and wacky sense of humor, Caleb Hawley has a completely unique musical perspective."
---Exterminating Angel
“Brilliant. That’s what this young man is. I’m proud to say that we’ve been friends since the third grade…”
---Nathan Mhyra (chief writer for Fargo’s Finest)
“… anything but cliché, Caleb’s songs will take the entire world to a new level. That is why I’m pretty sure that he’s an alien…”
--- Grommit Raspusin (writer for “Do Aliens Exist”)
“… the first time I saw him tears filled my eyes. That’s probably because I was in a lot of pain though.”
--- Vicki Hawley (writer for “Mag for Moms”)
“… his music is pretty good.”
--- Matt Neener (writer for “Cynical Mind” of Waco Nebraska)
“… I got a lucky chance to hear his new, not in stores yet, debut CD entitled “Greatest Hits”. I fell in love with it immediately. It is most indefinitely a must have.”
--- Caleb Hawley (writer for “My Magazine”)
A little about the man...
Caleb Hawley has always wanted to be a professional baseball player. However, life did not grant him big muscles and outstanding eye contact. Instead, he was dealt the gift of fast fingers and massive vocal chords. After sadly realizing his circumstances, he set off to be a musician.
At 12, he learned his first Nirvana song on guitar. Due to the overwhelming response from the seventh-grade girls, he decided to learn more. First Metallica, next Pink Floyd. Then Dave Mathews or whatever else made people like him. Soon Caleb was the youngest bar hopper in Minneapolis, performing for “old people” all over the city.
A few years later, college came. He decided to head out to Boston and attend Berklee College of Music. He received a degree in jazz composition and was sent off to make a living in music, or in other words, die. He had to move fast, before his college loans got the better of him, so he re-located to New York City and in July of 2007, released his debut CD, “Greatest Hits”.
Since then he (along with his dog Fargo) has traveled miles upon miles performing at clubs, colleges, and festivals all over the country. In journey, he has had the opportunity to share the stage with the most famous of stars, though sadly due to crazy laws, we are not allowed to drop their names here on Myspace. In November 2008, he was a top five finalist in the annual New York Songwriter’s showcase. Things are moving along, though he still hopes to be a baseball player someday.
Hi Caleb! Thanks for the add and new friendship. I hope you like my
music and make a comment please. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Have a great week!
Thank you for your invitation. I am proud to be your friend. I listened to one of your songs. I will be back again. You remind me of Stephen Bishop in his style of writing and performing. That's a good thing. Keep in touch.
Wishing you continued success and a great musical creative week.
My current project is a fiction novel with CD soundtrack due out this fall.
Peace and respect,
Joy
Joy Miller Author web link at myspace coming soon. I hope you will join me there too.
Yeah, the lunchtime gig--what a trip. We were doing all New Wave back then, with a band called 4 On the Floor. Put a site up last year in commemoration: http://www.myspace.com/4floorstore
Great tracks Caleb--SUNY Rockland--woah, I did that gig just about 30 years ago today. Nice to hear the "younger" generation continuing to make beautiful and heartfelt music--Peace.
Are you double booked ? Upcoming Shows, shows: Nov. 19 8:00 PM Bitter End - NYSC 2009 and Nov. 19 9:00 Middlebury College Middlebury Vt. Unless you have a tele-porter you aint gonna make it to the Vermont gig man :~O
I do have a good have a good feeling about the contest congrats and best of luck.
Cafe Paradiso is great! I worked there for a couple years. I'm pretty sure I'll be fully moved to New York in February so I won't be able to go to the Fairfield show unfortunately. But I see that you're based in New York so I'll definitely try to catch any local shows. I'd would very much like to see you perform again.
Keep in touch.
