On paper, Caleb Hawley’s resume reads like the standard Who’s Who for up-and-coming songwriters. Then you hear him sing, and you realize he stands out. He writes intricate lyrics, pairing them with cutting-edge chords and lightning-fast licks, and there's absolutely nothing average about this shaggy-haired, blue-eyed, multifaceted musician. Receiving top honors in the prestigious New York Songwriters Circle Contest (2008 and 2009), the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (2009), the Telluride Festival (2010), the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (2010), and Rocky Mountain Folks Fest (2011) for his songwriting, he also made it into the final top 50 on the 2011 American Idol Season. Caleb has shared stages with industry greats like Mark Cohn, Rusted Root, The Dave Matthews Band, Shawn Mullins, and Edwin McCain. Lyrically influenced by observational writers such as Randy Newman and Tom Waits, Caleb will captivate you with soothing folk tunes like James Taylor, and with the next breath blow you away with powerhouse soul vocals.
