Mallory Hawk is a singer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist based in Philadelphia by way of Fayetteville NC. Her self-released debut record Chinook is out July 31st. Mallory shares her experience growing up in a music rich household and why she ultimately settled with guitar as her main instrument. We learn how her songwriting style has evolved for the new record, she tells us the story behind the record title and how a military upbringing influenced the concept. The two discuss Mallory's process in the studio, how this elaborate group of songs retain a cohesion as a record over all and why she was more comfortable collaborating on Chinook. Joe admits he thought he incorrectly heard a guest singer on the record and we hear two new tunes.
