When he’s not busy teaching poetry to high schoolers, northern Illinois native Carl Hauck spends time writing a bit of his own and crafting the music to accompany it. Compared to the likes of Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine, Hauck has self-recorded and independently released four albums of subtly layered acoustic folk since 2004. Rawkblog called Hauck’s most recent album, Windjammer, “a special record, a collection of tender country-tinged folk that draws on Michigan-era sufjan Stevens and Heartbreaker/Gold-era Ryan Adams with equal adeptness… You need to hear [it].”
