BlackHawk in Oxford

BlackHawk is an American country band formed in Nashville in 1992 by Henry Paul, Van Stephenson and Dave Robbins. The group’s close three-part harmonies became its musical signature on songs including “Goodbye Says It All,” “Every Once in a While,” “I Sure Can Smell the Rain” and “That’s Just About Right,” several of which appeared on its self-titled debut album. BlackHawk spent the 1990s touring behind its early albums as a full country band centered on the founders’ vocal blend. Stephenson withdrew from touring in 2000 while receiving treatment for cancer and died the following year; Henry Paul kept BlackHawk active onstage, and Dave Robbins later returned to the lineup.
