Hillfolk Noir
October 19 @ 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Built on more than 15 years of tradition, today’s Hillfolk takes their acoustic guitar, double bass, and “anything you can find at a hardware store” sound and integrates driving drums and an electrified sound, kicking down limitations to create a vibe that goes beyond their Americana “junkerdash” roots. Want to call it bluegrass’s trouble-making cousin? Fine by us. A bit of string-band blues? Sure ‘nuff. A concoction of electrified rockin’ soulful folksy witchcraft mayhem? Now you’re talking, mama.
Tickets $17 in Advance and $20 at the door.
Quotes that make us seem cool
A thrilling, haunting, stark collection of traditionally inspired mountain-hillbilly music.
John Apice, No Depression
The best news is Ward has the chops and commitment to be what he claims to be: A bonafide folk singer.
Doug Deloach, Maverick Magazine
Hillfolk Noir played electric and ruined Treefort the same way that Dylan ruined Newport“.
This is talent that is wrought by a love and knowlege of traditional American music, uncompromisingly raw and packed with dustbowl character.
