While still on tour in 2014. Pope gathered his favorite Brooklyn-based musicians ((Paul Hammer, Alex Foote, Andrew Pertes, Alex Brumel, Alan Markley, & Michael Riddleberger) to form The Nighthawks and they were all instrumental in the creation of each song. Pope and his Nighthawks started their journey at a lake house in Blue Ridge, GA where they took songs from concept to completion. They then took the tunes directly out onto the road and played most of them in front of a live audience – all while recording the process. “This is me going back to the roots of what made me a songwriter…I was trying to blow my own mind with the last album (Calling Off The Dogs); this time I’m trying to soothe it. I want to take those songs out on the road and get them dirty, sharing them with the fans while they are still fresh and brand new rather than incubating them in a sterile environment for a long time”, Ron Pope says in a press statement.
The first two singles from the album – “Ain’t No Angel” & “Southern Cross” – were released in early 2015.
You might find Ron Pope’s sweetly raspy voice familiar from NBC’s “The Voice,” CW’s “Vampire Diaries” and “90210”, but if you’ve already heard him or not – this will be a great show to catch! Ron Pope and the Nighthawks will be joined on stage by Jonathan Tyler and Truett – tickets you can find here. Pre-order Ron Pope and The Nighthawks here.
