“the trio’s sibling tight singing and easy instrumental empathy on a range of swing, blues, country and folk music that sounds straight out of the 1930s. Whether ruminating on the current state of America, firing up Frankie and Johnny into a breathless drama or making Show Me the Way to Go Home sound improbably cool, the Boys are unmissable.” The Scottish Herald

Following a hugely successful European tour last year, The Hunger Mountain Boys from Massachusetts fly in, intent on keeping their reputation as one of the hottest bands on the US roots music circuit intact. Radio Presenter Mark Lamarr from the BBC described their music as “one of the best things I’ve ever heard”. They arrive in Europe this time for a string of summer festival appearances starting at the Cork Midsummer Festival.

With four albums behind them, this trio interprets rip roaring roots-of-country, American old-time and early bluegrass with such authentic panache that they have been invited to tour with greats such as Taj Mahal, Ralph Stanley and Doc Watson.
