Hackensaw Boys

The Hackensaw Boys are good for a one-way ticket to 'Far West'. The heady mix of country & western, bluegrass and early twentieth-century jug band music resolutely aims for the legs. The enthusiasm of The Hackensaw Boys and their enthusiasm make their energetic songs a huge hit. It is pure inspiration. The apparently 'off-the-cuff' songs are very well put together. Anyone who was carried away by the cheerful tunes of the Soggy Bottom Boys in the Coen brothers' film 'O Brother, Where Art Thou' will certainly appreciate these Hackensaw Boys. They also fill you with that wonderful western sound. And they do this with the help of an accordion, banjos, a dobro, old fiddles, a washboard, a true country voice and a good dose of humor. The Hackensaw Boys songs simply require rhythmic foot stomping and hand clapping.

SUPPORT: KEVN KINNEY

Kevn Kinney provides the warm-up. That name was once inextricably linked to 'Drivin 'n' Cryin', the legendary group with which he created the beautiful 'rock and folk' weather in the late 80s and early 90s. In 2004, his great solo album “Sun Tangled Angel Revival” was released almost out of nowhere. Here too, Kinney lets folk and rock flow together as if they were never two different genres. The influence of Bob Dylan is undeniable and the music tends towards a healthy mix of Bruce Springsteen, Vic Chesnutt and Dave Alvin. But Kinney's great trademark is still his husky voice, which gives his songs an endlessly dramatic undertone. This supporting act puts you in a split-cheerful/melancholic state of mind. A perfect mood to fully enjoy The Hackensaw Boys afterwards.
