Andy Hawk is a singer-songwriter living in Frederick, Maryland. His blend of hooky pop belies the serious undertones of his lyrics. You'll hum along and cry at the same time to some of his achingly personal - yet universal - themes of his first album, "Moth Crazy": lost love ("Willows and Walls", "Wednesday at 4 p.m."), dealing with the past ("Never Lost the Teardrops", "Breaking the Wave"), leaving your hometown ("Ferris Wheel"), broken dreams ("Maybe Someday"). You'll also relish the bittersweet love songs ("I'll See You In My Songs", "She Stopped the Rain", "Diamonds on the Sea"). His words strike to the heart of what all people must go through in the arc of a life. He blends a knack for more acoustic laments ("Ferris Wheel", "Maybe Someday", "I'll See You In My Songs", "About a Girl") with a few straight rock-n-roll tunes ("Good Night", "She Stopped the Rain"), and even throws in a rocking mini-rock opera ("The Symphony of 2 a.m.")
Hawk has been writing songs for more than 15 years, but this is his first release. While his work stands on its own, his ultimate goal is to have others cover his material so he can concentrate solely on songwriting. This CD is a big step toward that goal. The disc is selling well at his solo acoustic shows throughout the Pennsylvania-Maryland-Virginia-D.C. area.
