Band: GIRL WITH A HAWK
Who: The musical moniker of songstress Linda Viens
and some of Boston‘s rock legends working together.

New single: #VOTE (Rock The Boat)

Viens: “The lyrics of ‘#VOTE’ retain a kind of neutrality, in that ‘sides’ are not taken, there is no reference to ‘right’ or ‘left’. The lyrics emphasize the ideas of liberty, justice and freedom for all.”

“Most of us do not want to live in a world where LGBTQ+ people are not safe; where people of color are not safe, or have the same opportunities as whites; where children are being gunned down daily; where books and education are devalued; and where women don’t have control over their own bodies. No candidate is perfect. We must vote while we still can, especially in this election, to ensure that future generations continue to have the sacred power of their freedom, their choices, and their voices.

This song is really an homage to the great, profound privilege of living in a country where we have a vote. And a call to action when something crucial at hand needs our vote, and our voice.”

TUTV: This song was written about 20 years ago by a Boston musician when George W. Bush was running for re-election against Massachusetts’ own John Kerry and it’s highly relevant again.

GWAH, rockers at heart, turned the encouraging tune, into a jaunty country folk pop
gem you can hum, sing and whistle along all day long. Here in Europe, we are also waiting with anticipation for the election results. Whoever wins the White House, it’ll have an impact on the rest of the world. Europe wants democracy to prevail, it takes care of humanity in all aspects. While waiting, let’s rock the boat, and vote for GWAH today.
