TREY HAWKINS BAND
With a sound born on the back roads of Southeast Arkansas, Trey Hawkins Band is the definition of up and coming. After forming in the small town of Hamburg around 2009, Trey and the rest of THB quickly established themselves as the band to watch. Singer/songwriter, guitarist and founder of the band, Trey Hawkins, has been drawing crowds and entertaining audiences for years with real lyrics about breakups, breakdowns, love, pain, growing up and being from the South. With the addition of guitarists, Aaron Murphy and Andrew Breedlove, drummer Jonathan Breedlove, and bassist Mark Bolin, the sound of the South prevails.
Trey Hawkins Band has proudly shared the stage with: Randy Rogers Band, The Kentucky Headhunters, Stoney Larue, Eli Young Band, Robert Earl Keen, Blues Traveler, Joe Nichols, Jack Ingram, Charlie Daniels Band, David Nail and Pat Green
