Hawk in the Nest is the full-band project of singer-songwriter Avi Jacob, blending folk, Americana, and R&B into a warm, emotionally rich sound. Raised in Boston’s DIY scene, Avi began performing original music at 14 and released early recordings through The Whitehaus Family Record. After relocating to Charleston in 2010, he built a national following through festivals, blog acclaim, and notable collaborations, including co-writing “All the Liars” for Diana DeMuth. His independent releases and growing buzz earned praise from Counting Crows, who called him “an emerging folk superstar.”
