Hilary Hawke and the Flipsides
Hilary Hawke
http://www.hilaryhawke.com
Hilary Hawke & the Flipsides is no country/bluegrass cover band. With a line-up of great musicians, they could play a traditional country and bluegrass show, and they are definitely rooted in this style. But the band´s unique, devil-may-care songwriting leaves a big impression. Songs loaded with the imagery of crow´s, horses, mountains and lost love is enhanced by the groups full-on harmonies, background singing and unique musicianship. Hawke is the leader of the band, and main songwriter on banjo and guitar.
