The Hunger Mountain Boys

about

Touring and recording since 2003, The nimble fingered Hunger Mountain Boys (Teddy "Tetlow" Weber, Kip Beacco & Matt Downing), have released three full-length albums and one vinyl single on their own Old-Fi record label. Their songwriting has won them national recognition, and their music has taken them from coast to coast, Canada and Europe. Their spirited performances of eclectic traditional American music as well as their own compositions have put them on stages with many roots-based artists from Taj Mahal to Doc Watson and Ralph Stanley to Kathy Mattea, among others. With a fourth album scheduled to be released late in 2007, The Hunger Mountain Boys continue to tour the nation. "The Hunger Mountain Boys blow right past 1960's pop revival and kick it even older-school with sweet pieces of twangy, acoustic Americana that has a '30's and '40's feel." -Boston Globe "The group's sound is very resolutely old-school, but it's also resolutely eclectic. "Hiccup Remedy Blues" sounds like 1930's hot jazz, while "I've Got The Blues Mary" is more countryish with brother-duo harmonies and some startlingly virtuosic bottleneck slide guitar, and "Departure Day" sounds like an early Monroe Brothers tune with lickety-split guitar/mandolin interplay and tight sweet vocal harmonies. And that's just the first three songs on the album! Very highly recommended." -Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine Dec 2006 “These boys from The Berkshires are a little too melodic to be old-time and a little too ro
