“Writing songs for other people wasn’t fulfilling anymore. I needed a way to be creative on my own while connecting with the history I’ve always loved”

After more than a decade writing songs in Nashville, hit-songwriter Andrew Scott Wills put down his Music Row lunchbox to chase something that’s been chasing him for years. He formed Hawken Horse with the vision of capturing the same fascination that’s consumed him since that day along the Little Miami: the American Frontier.
His songwriting puts the spotlight on the good and the ugly of frontier history with inspiring lyrics that spark an inner yearning for discovery, independence and survival.
With the help of a possible's bag of skilled musicians and collaborators, Wills has been able to forge a collection of stories that have been literally centuries in the making. "Hawken Horse makes music for those who yearn to go back and those who never left," Wills says.
