Before there was bluegrass, Appalachian folk musicians played their string instruments for such social occasions as dancing and front-porch visiting. Nowadays, it’s hard to find a band that doesn’t mix those old-time traditions with modern show-biz presentation. But the Hackensaw Boys hew to the spirit of the hills.


No one in the band seems more important than anybody else — these guys are all about the joys of playing together. Co-founder Tom Peloso actually spends more time these days with alt-rockers Modest Mouse, but his six-man ensemble is still out there mixing string-band oldies with entertaining originals.

The Hackensaw Boys first began playing their joyful blend of old-time and bluegrass-tinged string-band music on the streets of Charlottesville in the autumn of 1999. Far from limiting themselves to old-time canon, however, the Hackensaws have been first and foremost a band of songwriters.

After seven years of relentless touring throughout the United States, Europe and the U.K., the Hackensaw Boys are being recognized as one of the most exciting groups on the diverse Americana music scene.

Their music, while drawing upon the spirit of the mountains, is sophisticated and informed by the best elements of punk rokc and classic country music. As one reviewer put it: „Imagine the Carter Family meets the Ramones and you begin to get the picture“. Hackensaw Boys
