I See Hawks in L.A. Return to the Stage

Good news breaking, this just in…
I SEE HAWKS IN L.A., the band Dave Alvin called “One of California’s unique treasures,” posted a letter to their fans on their website and social media pages today that they are returning to the stage next month. After the devastating loss of Paul Lacques, the future of the band was uncertain. It’s such good news that the songs will live on.
On July 8, 2024
We want to stay a band. We believe that’s what Paul would‘ve wanted. We are a family. The songs should live on.
We will never replace Paul Lacques because he’s irreplaceable. But as we have very slowly and gently begun playing the songs together again we’ve found healing for us while also summoning Paul’s spirit. We want to share that now with our fans and friends and family so beginning in August we will start playing shows again as the Hawks.
So far several dear friends have been joining us in different combinations. Brother Richie Lawrence on accordion. Dave Zirbel on pedal steel. Rick Shea and Tony Gilkyson on guitars. We’ve been having a wonderful time playing for the first time with the amazing Dan Wistrom who has been adding gorgeous pedal steel, guitar, and his natural harmonies. We feel lucky to get to play these songs with these players for all of our friends, family, and fans. There will be more.
Love,
Victoria, Rob, and Paul
