Red Tail Hawk's music is a vibrant fusion of alternative, groove rock, and pop. They capture audiences with soaring melodies, heady grooves, and high-energy performances that have earned them distinction on Boston’s north shore. Frontman Ben Zanfagna is a fluent vocalist & sax player whose songwriting and arrangements have been inspired by raw experience, blues, jazz, and soul but are never bounded by conventional norms.
RTH has opened for National acts such as G-Love, The Brew, and Chris Duarte, to name a few. They've played major music festivals in the region and sold-out shows at The Stone Church in Newmarket, NH, and The Press Room in Portsmouth, NH.
Following the release of Red Tail Hawk's self-titled EP (2011) and their late-2014 release, "Magnetic Malaise" their late-2015 single releases, "Zoo" and "Blot" the band released a full-length album, "Night Soup" in June 2016. Their single, “Trees” was released in late 2018. The incendiary remix/remaster of “Bilderberg” was released in July 2019. STROKES was medicine for everyone’s spirit with its release in 2020, followed by new sounds for the band in KING KONG.
RTH is about to start an epic New England tour in summer 2023, both as a full band and with songwriter sets by leadman Ben Zanfagna, and their newest release - Make Your Own Medicine - will be streaming everywhere 5/22/23!
