Hawk Nelson embarks on an athletic and
adventurous summer with the beginning of the Faith Nights Baseball
Tour this
weekend, upcoming Olympic promotions featuring "Turn It On," and
festival appearances filled with many surprises.
Kicking off the Faith Nights Baseball Tour this weekend, Hawk Nelson
will once again be entertaining baseball fans and families with a
concert either
prior to or following the baseball game. Along with Hawk Nelson
performing will be RunKidRun and special guest Mark Stewart (Audio
Adrenaline).
Lead singer Jason Dunn will throw the first pitch at each game to add
to the full experience followed by RunKidRun singing the seventh
inning
stretch.
Beginning on Monday, June 9th, Hawk Nelson's song "Turn It On" will be
featured on NBC for Olympic promotions aired during the late night
programming
of The Tonight Show, Late Night with Conan and Last Call with Carson
Daly. The band has previously been featured in such promos in the
2004
Summer Olympic promotions on NBC networks.
Coming off of their highly successful headline tour, Hawk Nelson Green
T Tour, this foursome will make appearances at all the major
festivals, which
will feature the mobile HawkMART, the merch store on wheels. The band
will be appearing at the Creation 30th Anniversary and have a special
surprise planned for all attending. Fans still remember the band
parachuting into Spirit West Coast in previous years; therefore, the
fans look
forward to their unpredictable antics each show.
Hawk Nelson released their third studio project "Hawk Nelson is My
Friend" on April 1st, 2008. This album debuted on the Billboard 200
chart at
No. 34, the band's highest chart debut. Coming next week will be the
new CHR single "One Little Miracle," which was written after Jason's
grandmother passed away. The new Rock single coming will be "You Have
What I Need," and recently the song "Arms Around Me" was added to
KLTY.
