Hilltop Noir on Tour

Legendary BBC presenter “Whispering” Bob Harris is a fan and has described their music as “amazing.” 

One of the hardest-working bands on the US roots music circuit, Hillfolk Noir have built themselves a huge Stateside following playing what has been described as music“filtered through a country-tinged, swampy-swingin’, hillbilly- delta-blues-ragtime word machine”.

Working out of Boise, Idaho, they have won a lot of fans in the UK after six successful tours on this side of the Atlantic. This is what some media folks have said about them: 

“A raggedy, rollicking adrelalin shot” – fRoots magazine 

“An incandescent car crash of blues, medicine show sensibilities, country and rock ‘n’ roll” – Mary Ann Kennedy, BBC Radio 3 

“A beautiful blend of folk, country and rock ‘n’ roll with Depression-era inspired string band blues and hillbilly ideals” – The List 

“Roots music with attitude!” – R2 (Rock ‘n’ Reel) magazine 

“The jugband tradition is alive and more than well – they bring a punky, spunky spirit to the blues and old-time” – Rob Adams, The Herald 

“I love this” – Ricky Ross, BBC Radio Scotland
