Hawk and Dove: official website; myspace; The psychedelic country sound of Hawk and Dove speaks of Abel writing lullabies for Cain, a marriage of fury and beauty where Elijah Miller’s complex lyrics may sink into an unquiet sea of sound. Elijah Miller left his life as a Union Organizer to follow his passion for music after stumbling upon old friend and guitarist John Kleber in a bar in 2007. John’s guitar screams Elijah’s words through the beauty and hell on the horizon- a relaxing soundtrack for your last day on earth. Having left her jazz piano degree somewhere in the East River, Stephanie Sanders woke up in the summer of 2008 as the heartbeat of Hawk and Dove with a bass guitar in her hands. These three found the anchor for their music in veteran New York drummer and session musician Dave Butler. Together with Sanders, these two meticulously judge when to allow the sound of Hawk and Dove to whisper, scream, melt through the cracks or explode into the clouds. Add to the fray, the lovely violin of classically trained Rachel Lyon and the Hawk and Dove sound is complete.

Eleanor Whitmore: myspace; Her mom’s an opera singer and her dad sings folk songs and plays guitar, so it makes sense that Eleanor Whitmore can play fiddle AND violin. What’s the difference you might ask? One night you might see her sitting in a string quartet, and on another, you may see the stage lights shining on her flaming red hair in a rock club, or even playing the mandolin. It means she can play in tune and …AMAZING!

Eleanor has performed in orchestras with Dianna Ross and Andrea Bocelli. She has toured and performed onstage with Regina Spektor, Slaid Cleaves, Jack Ingram, Chris Masterson, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Tom Freund, Ana Egge, Susan Gibson, Rod Picott, and Alex and Bonnie Whitmore, just to name a few. She has recorded most notably with Neil Hagerty (Royal Trux), Slaid Cleaves, Bruce Robison, Susan Gibson, Lloyd Maines, and Terri Hendrix.
