—
For years, BlackHawk has shared a unique sense of harmony with their voices, their songs and their fans. It’s a harmony that has sold over 7 million albums, scored some of the most distinctive country radio hits of the ‘90s, and still draws tens of thousands of fans to their electrifying live performances.
Today, BlackHawk continues to honor its past as it forges its future, and does it all with a commitment that takes their music – and the harmony – to a whole new level.
BlackHawk’s 1993 self-titled Arista debut album launched with the smash single “Goodbye Says It All,” followed by the Top 5 hits “Every Once in a While,” “I Sure Can Smell the Rain,” “Down in Flames,” and “That’s Just About Right.” The album soon certified Double-Platinum, and the band received an ACM nomination as Best New Vocal Group Of The Year.
BlackHawk followed up with the hit albums Strong Enough, Love & Gravity, and Sky’s The Limit, which collectively featured such hits as “I’m Not Strong Enough To Say No,” “Like There Ain’t No Yesterday,” “Big Guitar,” “Almost A Memory Now,” “There You Have It,” and “Postmarked Birmingham.” It was an unprecedented run of hits for a band that never quite fit the standard country mold.
