The Hilary Hawke Band is a fun, powerhouse quartet featuring guitarist Ross Martin (Jacob Joliff Band, Matt Flinner Trio), fiddler Camille Howes, and bassist Myles Sloniker (Jacob Joliff Band) based out of NYC. Since forming as a trio in 2022, the group has built its identity around improvisation, original songwriting, and a shared love of bluegrass and old-time traditions. Hilary and Ross bring over 15 years of shared musical history across a range of bluegrass projects while also stretching into the world of original music. The band leans into songwriting and improvisation, with performances that are vibrant and engaging. Expect banjo drive, soaring fiddle melodies, intricate guitar work, tasteful bass lines, rich harmonies, all grounded in songs that celebrate creativity, and the joy of being live in a room with an audience. 

Stash Wyslouch - Guitarist Stash Wyslouch is hailed as one of bluegrass’s most powerful genre‑bending pioneers—a firebrand whose “sonic kaleidoscope of weirdness and wonder” mixes thrash metal, old‑time, jazz, and classic bluegrass into wildly original, jaw‑dropping music that somehow feels both delightfully zany and deeply soulful.

Stash has played and recorded with Bruce Molsky’s Mountain Drifters, The Jacob Jolliff Band and The Deadly Gentlemen and shared the stage with the likes of Bryan Sutton, Billy Strings, Julian Lage, David Grisman and Peter Rowan.
