Life Is...
Through blending their vision and musical talent, Eagle & Hawk have created a progressive style of music that embraces their Native roots while building bridges of cultural understanding. Their leading role in defining the genre of contemporary Native music has earned them the respect of the Native and Non-Native communities alike.
Envisioning a new sound that would combine modern rock with Native elements, guitarist and bandleader Vince Fontaine founded Eagle & Hawk in 1994. They soon journeyed from the ‘Indian City’ of Winnipeg, Manitoba to the capitals of Europe where they blasted onto countless stages with a powerful and effervescent live show that impressed their international audiences.
Their 4th album, On and On, won a Juno Award in 2002 in the category of “Best Music of Aboriginal Canada”. In 2004, Eagle & Hawk’s 5th album Mother Earth earned yet another Juno nomination and brought home 4 awards including three Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards for “Best Song”, Best Songwriter” and “Best Album.”
