Local artist Hunter Hawkins, known for his diverse talents as a singer, songwriter, actor, and filmmaker, is set to host a special event at the Alcazar Theatre in Carpinteria. The event will feature the release of his new single “Here Now” and a screening of his film “Awake Pinky’s Journey.” Hawkins, who has been mentored by the renowned Kenny Loggins, has seen his career flourish under this guidance.

Mentorship and Growth

Hawkins’ journey in the music industry began at a young age, with his passion for singing developing as early as second grade. His unique style and stage presence caught the attention of Kevin Jonas, father of the Jonas Brothers, during a recording session in Nashville, leading to further opportunities and growth in his career.

Loggins, who shares a humorous connection with Hawkins over their mutual love for humming, has been a pivotal figure in Hawkins’ artistic development. “Hunter always gets people turning their heads,” Loggins remarked, highlighting the young artist’s ability to captivate audiences.

Upcoming Event

The upcoming event at the Alcazar Theatre will not only celebrate Hawkins’ new single but also provide an opportunity for fans to experience an acoustic set and film screening. Hawkins expressed his excitement, stating, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and all the stars fell into place to make it happen.”
