Last Sunday evening we had the opportunity to relax with some good friend and share a few stories. A friend of ours from back in the day when Potters Mill was a hub for musicians traveling through the area, was back in Iowa.Michael Hawkeye Herman, 2004, Iowa Blues Hall of Fame Inductee was in town before his week as the artist in residence down in the Quad Cities
Hawkeye is both a great story teller and a guitar player. Playing both fingerpick and slide guitar, Herman's licks are clean, yet spare..., his vocals are direct and straightforward, but full of emotion...
During the week of April 11-15, Hawkeye will go into science, math, English, social studies, ESL, and alternative high school classrooms of four area schools. This is a new approach for BITS in the Quad-Cities, but not for Hawkeye, who has been conducting cross-curricular blues workshops all over the world. Because teaching at the classroom level is more intense in both preparation and execution than the usual performing for school assemblies, Hawkeye will be presenting only one open-to-the-public event on Wednesday April 13 at Mojo’s in the River Music Experience (2nd and Main Streets in Davenport) beginning at 7:00 p.m.
