Hawkns is an Indie Pop Rock band from New Haven, CT. They burst onto the local music scene in the spring of 2019 and immediately began captivating live audiences with their sound and infectious energy. Featuring the unbridled exuberance and vocal prowess of the band’s frontman, Hawkins French, and the unparalleled, virtuoso guitar playing of lead guitarist, Joe Frank, this foursome has quickly become a highly sought-after live act.
