Tomorrow morning at 11am, we will be airing the first of a two part exclusive live session and interview with Rob Fahey of the Ravyns! Please tune in!

Some exciting news from the HAWK Radio:

We have a few exciting events coming up. On Thursday, April 12 the HAWK is sponsoring a screening of the classic 80s teen comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Written by Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) and starring Judge Reinholdt, Sean Penn and Phoebe Cates, this film also gave us one of the greatest soundtracks of the 80s. Including artists like Jackson Browne, The Go-Go's, Don Henley and Graham Nash, the Fast Times soundtrack also featured a song by Baltimore-area hometown heroes The Ravyns. "Raised on the Radio," written by Ravyns leader Rob Fahey, has since become a Baltimore classic.

Then, on April 17, the HAWK Radio is pleased to present our very first live performance, featuring local legend Rob Fahey!

Rob is well-known on the Baltimore-area music scene, having been active as an artist since the 1970s. He released his first album in 1977, as leader of the band Hollins Ferry. In the 1980's, Rob was the leader of The Ravyns, easily one of the most popular bands on the Baltimore music scene. After Rob's song "Raised on the Radio" debuted on the Fast Times soundtrack, the band secured a record deal with MCA, and in 1984 the Ravyns released their self-titled debut album featuring entirely original compositions. In 1985, the video for the song "Rhythm of the Heart" won MTV's Basement Tapes Competition for independent artists, solely based on viewer support.

Following the break-up of The Ravyns, Rob formed a new group, Word of Mouth, and continued to be active in the Baltimore music scene. 1992 saw the release of Rob's first album since the break-up of The Ravyns, backed by his band The Pieces. Since then, Rob has continued to perform, both solo and with The Pieces. Ravyns reunions occur sporadically, and Rob also occasionally performs with members of The Ravyns and Crack the Sky as B.A.M.B. (The Badass Makeshift Band). Rob is also still active as recording artist, releasing Trust Me, I Do This All the Time in 2007, Live at Sheffield in 2009, and Christmas Card in 2010.

Rob will be performing an acoustic set on the campus center patio featuring original songs from Hollins Ferry, The Ravyns, and his solo career. In addition to being a talented singer and songwriter, he is also a phenomenal guitar player. The HAWK Radio is pleased to welcome this Baltimore legend to campus. Please invite your friends to this awesome show!

Rob will also be recording an exclusive performance/interview session for the HAWK, to be broadcast at a later date. We'll update you again when we determine an air date.

Hey Hawk Fans! We hope you're enjoying our great lineup of new programming. Just an FYI, you may notice some inconsistencies with the show archive features on our website. We are in the process of moving that feature to a new platform, so hang tight as we continue to get all of that figured out. Don't worry though, all shows are still being recorded, and will be available once everything is switched over.

The time has finally come for the HAWK to spread it's glorious wings once again. Shows are now officially scheduled here and set to begin tomorrow- Monday, February 6. Returning DJs- you should all have the same usernames (first inital, last name). New DJs- you should have gotten email confirmation about your new usernames (name- first initial, last name // password- your student ID). If your username hasn't been created or isn't working for whatever reason, just get in touch with me and we'll figure it out!
