By blending inspired vision with musical talent, Eagle & Hawk have created a progressive style of ‘rock’ steeped in roots, fusion, and solid songwriting that continues to earn fans – and loads of fanfare – worldwide.
Eagle & Hawk’s music takes the lead in defining the genre of contemporary Indigenous music. Envisioning a sound that fused modern rock with traditional elements, guitarist and bandleader Vince Fontaine founded Eagle & Hawk in 1994. The journey took the band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to stages in European capitals where they blasted onto the scene with a powerful live show. While their effervescent performances won over international and national audiences, their talent and determination quietly garnered respect from fans and critics alike.
Eagle & Hawk’s engaging style also impressed the music industry. Their fourth album On and On won a 2002 JUNO Award in the category of Best Music of Aboriginal Canada, while their fifth and sixth albums Mother Earth and Life Is... earned JUNO nominations in 2004 and 2006. Collectively, these two albums captured numerous accolades including a Native American Music Award, four Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, three Indian Summer Music Awards, and two Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards. To date, the band has received three dozen nominations and wins at awards ceremonies across North America.
Determined to match the success of their previous multi-award winning releases, Eagle & Hawk dug deep to write and record their latest album. The 2008 release of Sirensong offers up great catchy hooks, thoughtful lyrics, and good-old fashioned human stories.
Eagle & Hawk are best known for live shows that are energizing, interactive, and simply irresistible. The front man on stage is lead vocalist Jay Bodner, whose rich voice and charm has captivated audiences from coast to coast in Canada, across Europe, and throughout the United States. Since joining the band in 1998, Bodner has also helped define Eagle & Hawk’s unique sound through his songwriting efforts.
Rounding out the band is drummer Kevin Radomsky, bass player Lawrence (Spatch) Mulhall, and Gerry Atwell on keys. Featured performers include traditional singer Ray (Coco) Stevenson, and multi-style traditional dancer Buffy Handel, who, together, carry the visual and rhythmic beauty of First Nations culture and expression.
To date, Eagle & Hawk have toured Europe more than a dozen times, and entertained countless audiences across North America. The band has performed at many annual events including the Indian Summer Festival, Minnesota State Fair, Canada Day in Ottawa, to name a few, as well as numerous TV appearances.
2008 and 2009 will continue to see Eagle & Hawk surge to new heights as they will perform their first ever symphony show at special invitation from the world-renowned Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. One can only speculate what doors this will open next for this remarkable and ambitious band, who are always willing to submerge themselves fully into their collective passion – making music.

Stand Alone
Eagle & Hawk Lyrics
When you're all alone
I call you on the phone
You're busy can you go
Why did I let you go
I'm lying on the floor
Considering what's wrong
I try to call your bluff
But that is not enough
You're sorry got to go
I call for you once more
But you will not pick up
No you cannot pick up
I run straight to your home
The loneliest dial tone
I cannot even scream
The horror that I've seen
You jump and let it go
No feeling of remorse
I'm late to make it there
But see you through the air
With wings that start to glow
Your feathers fall like snow
They carry you to see
All the things we could've seen
Never let you go
I can't let you go
Hate me in the morning
But see the sun once more
I want it like before
If I can try once more
Let's be alone together
Just don't hang up the phone
Yeah don't hang up the phone
I call you on the phone
You're busy can you go
Why did I let you go
I'm lying on the floor
Considering what's wrong
I try to call your bluff
But that is not enough
You're sorry got to go
I call for you once more
No you cannot pick up
I run straight to your home
The loneliest dial tone
I cannot even scream
The horror that I've seen
You jump and let it go
No feeling of remorse
I'm late to make it there
But see you through the air
With wings that start to glow
Your feathers fall like snow
They carry you to see
All the things we could've seen
Never let you go
I can't let you go
Hate me in the morning
But see the sun once more
I want it like before
If I can try once more
Let's be alone together
Just don't hang up the phone
Yeah don't hang up the phone

I used to work at a park, and I would witness hawks get into fights with other local birds, such as crows, ravens, and even sparrows and finches!

Trying to figure out which bird (eagle or hawk) it was that I saw in a very enlightening dream after the guided hypnotic meditation. It was a baby into young bird and still small, so I can't distinguish by the size or wingspan. It had large brown wings and a tan beak and yellow/tan feet. It could walk and attack and grab the head of a hyena. Very heavy. It was a very special dream..

The main and major difference by appearance is that eagles always have feathers on legs to claw, while a hawk doesn't.

@Dhairya Dixit then it isn't actually a valid point. He's only talking about "booted eagles".
Dhairya Dixit
Valid point, but I would like to add that fish Eagles, serpent Eagles and snake Eagles won't have feathered legs.

I have watched hawks in the sky since I was a little boy. It's amazing to learn that a human being can fit in an eagle's nest of 3ft wide and 4ft tall.
Jayjay Tunezzz
They always have two eggs and one always kills the other 😂🤣
damn ye just got bewitched by the chadman
10ft wide and 13ft tall though
Sandy Ortega
