COOS BAY- Rocking out in their start-up town, a band now based out of Portland kicks off their first album's northwest tour showing a little love for Coos Bay on Easter with a benefit concert.

Silverhawk's newly released album 'Hangover Bicycle Ride' is about 15 songs lead singer Sam Densmore says is definitely rock and roll.

Rockers of all ages turned out for the Sunday concert at the Broadway Rock Venue to support the Coos Bay-rooted band and the Coos County animal shelter with donations from dog food to flea medications.

Densmore says, "We are an animal band, we're Silverhawk, so we want to help the animals."

Three of the band members are from Coos Bay, and they felt it was fitting to celebrate a momentous time in their career where it originated.

"This is going to be our 16th anniversary show at the Broadway Rock Hall. It used to be called the On-Broadway theatre and that was the venue where John and I actually started playing together as a folk duo in that exact room."

Silverhawk's latest cd is available now at Off the Record in North Bend.
