Thursday 31 May 2012

Antieke folk- en bluegrassmuziek uit de schilderachtige Appalachen klinkt weer superactueel in de handen van The Hackensaw Boys, die er een flinke dosis eenentwintigste-eeuwse rock ’n’ roll in stoppen. In semiakoestische setting gebruikt de zevenmansband uit Virginia onder andere banjo, gitaar, mandoline, fiddle, harmonica en contrabas. Geen covers of traditionals maar nieuwe songs van één van de opwindendste americana-bands. "You see them in the early hours of the morning walking hotel corridors, or boldly traversing rush hour streets. They are sincere, polite but talkative men with instrument cases. They admire the local scenery and appear unfed. By day they seem incapable of action but at night they step onto a stage and with taut fiddle bows, worn cutlery and dirty strings bring you a focused, vibrant and joyful sound. They are the Hackensaw Boys - and they are in your town."
