Friendships continue to be formed across the nation with the third studio project released from punk-rock favourites Hawk Nelson. Hawk Nelson… Is My Friend! released yesterday to the masses as they have been touring the country with their hit headline GREEN T TOUR, which continues through May 3rd.

Last night, the band paid homage to their fans in honour of their CD releasing playing a free listener appreciation concert in Nashville, TN at the Rocketown Club with a capacity crowd cheering them on. This album is a tribute to the loyal fans the band has had following their career since their 2004 debut Letters To The President.

Fans are not the only ones gravitating towards the new release as the media are also talking about the fun-filled, energetic project. Hawk Nelson has also had a recent appearance on Good Day Tulsa (March 27th) and upcoming performances on KARE 11 Showcase Minnesota (April 11th) and WGN Chicago Morning Show (April 14th).
