The Hunger Mountain Boys : Early County & Oldtime Music Performers

Well, we finished 2005 singing a trio with the great Iris Dement at the Lebanon Opera House up in Lebanon, NH. Not a bad way to end a great year for the HMB's!! We now set our sights, and sounds, on the recording studio and what will be our third album. We'll be back on stage in January, shortly after the holidays....

We'd like to thank all you folks who have come out to support us in the past year. We'd like to wish you and yours a happy and safe holiday!

“Blue Ribbon Waltz is the real deal as the Hunger Mountain Boys have recreated those early days of country
music through expert musicianship, joyous vocals and quality originals and classic material. Well done!
SING OUT! MAGAZINE / VOL. 49 #2 / SUMMER 2005

“It is only the sonic clearity and warmth of their recording that makes you realize that you are not actually
living in the past, but hearing its immaculate recreation.....These guys believe.”
DIRTY LINEN MAGAZINE / #120, OCT/NOV 2005

“This duet is ready to take lovers of bluegrass and early country music by storm. Their show is alive with
the spirit of the early performers, and you can feel their love for what they do. Entertaining teamwork;
first class musicianship and singing; good, heartfelt and sometimes funny material, with some excellent
new songs in the old style. What a combination! It makes me wish they had a 15-minute radio show I could
listen to every day.”
PETE “DR. BANJO” WERNICK / SEPT. 2005

“Their unabashed stage show is one not to miss.”
THE WOODSTOCK TIMES / WOODSTOCK, NY

“The smartly-suited duet ripped out traditional country and original songs at a furious pace, spitting out
lyrics so rapidly that, at times, it was difficult to keep up. To make it even more interesting, the duet frequently
changed instruments.“
KENNEBEC JOURNAL / MORNING SENTINEL, ME / SEPT 12, 2005

“The Hunger Mountain Boys could have easily been performing sixty years ago instead of at the beginning
of the twenty-first century… Fashioned in the Old Way features plenty of the old-style duo singing, guaranteed
to raise goosebumps. Expect to hear much more from the Hunger Mountain Boys.”
