Caleb Hawkins

Caleb Hawkins is believed to be the youngest of three kids from Cincinnati but details of his youth are a little fuzzy at best, he is known to reference a life spent in a blacksmith shop at steam shows and tractor pulls, and at different times references having been a cowboy on a small spread with about 20 head of Angus cattle, and once told the story of baling hay in the summer heat at the age of sixteen.

In 2005 Caleb showed up for an open mic at a now defunct Indianapolis coffee joint toting a guitar that had seen better days, and singing one of the rawest forms of Country Blues that had been heard at that venue in a long time, to say it was "raw" is almost an understatement as it was also under developed and half baked to boot... But none the less people clapped at the end of the set and Caleb disappeared shortly after closing his guitar case, and was only heard from again a month later at another open mic, this time sounding slightly better than before! Thankfully Caleb developed into a polished vocalist and prolific writer of folk and blues music and has gone on to record and release a number of indiependant CD's and singles.

Today Caleb performs to a wide range of audience with his multi instrumental show featuring guitar and banjo, fiddle and mandolin all in the traditional roots style befitting a young man from another time.
