About the Band: Hawktail is the instrumental acoustic quartet of fiddler Brittany Haas, bassist Paul Kowert, guitarist Jordan Tice, and mandolinist Dominick Leslie. Though at first glance it looks like an acoustic superpicker side-project, their all-original music is cohesive and unique, distinguishing them as an ensemble with a sound built from the ground up. Flush with orchestral sweeps and sparse vigils, with strains of the American South and the North Atlantic, this cosmopolitan sound is not what you'd expect from a string band.
Ticket Info: You can pick up your will-call at the Bloom Box office located at the Buskirk-Chumley theater during our regular business hours up until 4pm on the day of the show. After that tickets will be available at FAR Center when doors open. If the event does not sell out tickets will be available at the door.
About Hand Picked: The Hand Picked music series is a series of concerts located at the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts. Located in the Fourth and Rogers neighborhood, this historic building offers beautiful acoustics and a truly intimate experience seating up to 160. The 505 Theater at FAR has been carefully restored and designed with live performance in mind, the large vaulted ceilings and 12-foot glass garage doors provide a venue unlike any other you will find in Bloomington. This series will bring in well-known names such as Carrie Newcomer, Alasdair Fraser, and Humbird for the 2022-2023 season.
