The Hilary Hawke Band

The Hilary Hawke band is a 4-piece band with fiddler Camille Howes, banjoist Hilary Hawke, guitarist Ross Martin and bassist Max Johnson. With a focus on improvisation and original songs the band got together in the Fall of 2022 for their love of bluegrass and old-time music and immediately knew they needed to perform together.  The group has a synchronicity and dynamism that is undeniably addictive and have been garnering attention for their arrangements, entertaining live shows and virtuosity.  

The group is an inspiring musical combo who are also experienced in outreach and teaching for audiences of all ages.
