San Diego band The BalladMongers use a BluesHawk on some of their material - this link to Curious Yellow features a BluesHawk, you can even see a video of a BluesHawk being played here - you will need some patience for both samples as their web-server is a bit slow
Try Annie Gallup's music here - again featuring a BluesHawk
Hear more sounds from the Gibson BluesHawk on the Bluesmans website - look for the links about half-way down the page - nice playing Axel.
