Niagara Falls is the first solo album released by Greg Hawkes, best known as an original member of the Cars. It was released in 1983 by Passport Records. Hawkes plays all instruments, with programmed drums and multiple layers of keyboard parts, as well as rhythm guitar. It was recorded at Syncro Sound, a Boston recording studio owned by the Cars. Tuneful and not overly experimental, it sounds very much like the Shake It Up era of the Cars.
