Hawk Nelson

Tonight was the Faith Night Baseball Tour at the Fort Wayne Wizards game, with Hawk Nelson as the headliners. Since TUFW was one of the sponsors for the game, I got a free ticket and ventured out to the ol' ballpark. The concert started at 5:30 with The Send, who I had never heard of. They were fairly good.

Several hundred people--maybe over 500--were in the crowd by the time Hawk Nelson, one of my favorite bands, came on but I was only about 15 yards from the stage. My ears are still ringing.

The lead singer looks like Jeannette's brother, Scott, when he's getting ready to go on an undercover drug bust. He needs to try the faux-hawk look.
He did a good job fronting the band, though his main shtick was kind of staggering around the stage acting like he was surprised to see everyone there. It was cute, cool and funny for the first two songs and then it was just lame. He needs to expand his repertoire. He was good overall.

The funnest moment in the show was when he invited a guy with a Canadians' hockey jersey up on stage, borrowed his shirt and let him play kazoo with the band.
One thing nice about a concert with a band that has only produced two CDs is that you usually know all the songs they play. Though they did cover a song by The Cars.

I only stayed for three innings and then came back to campus. When I left the park, there was still a huge line waiting for Hawk Nelson autographs.
