Caleb in 2007:
It's not often a former American Idol contestant comes to B-sides, but this week singer-songwriter Caleb Hawley returned to our stage after almost three years, including his stint on Idol and a move to New York. His quirky music-nerd persona still comes through in the revamped act, but in a much more professional package. Constant joking and a winning smile carried Hawley through original music, renditions of the Mario soundtrack, and a jam session with his student doppelganger, Alex Brubaker. As someone who has been in artist management, it was fascinating for me to see such a talented musician attain much greater levels of success through marketing. His new and improved show pulls out all the stops, even bringing his dog on stage for a song about being jealous of the affection his wife shows their canine companion. A graduate of both Berklee College of Music and the Stephen Tyler school of "YES!", Hawley is sure to be a fixture in the industry now that his excellent musicianship is more popularly packaged.
