Cracker - Hackensaw Boys

For over 20 years, the Hackensaw Boys have plowed the asphalt, bringing their raw, gritty version of American roots music to the venues and streets that originally inspired them.

Born in Virginia, along the same routes as fellow road warriors/street buskers Old Crow Medicine Show, the Hackensaw Boys have at times operated more as a collective than a band, sometimes boasting up to twenty members. What’s kept them together is a burning hot vision of American roots music brought kicking and screaming into a new age, fueled as much by a rowdy punk spirit as by the traditional masters that first inspired them.

​

Known best for their rowdy, energetic live shows, the collective has played all over the globe and at some of the top festivals including Bonnaroo, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, All Good Festival and Bergenfest, to name just a few
