Hilary Hawke Band

Formed in 2022, the trio features versatile banjoist Hilary Hawke, acclaimed guitarist Ross Martin, and rising fiddle innovator Camille Howes. They weave improvisation, original songwriting, bluegrass and old-time into a sound that is fresh, fearless, and deeply expressive.

Catch their Saranac Lake, NY debut at Hotel Saranac in the Ballroom. There will be a dance floor (bring your dancing shoes!) as well as cocktail tables to enjoy the show.

Every show becomes its own journey: spontaneous, spirited, and unforgettable.

Expect sparkling banjo lines, soaring fiddle melodies, intricate guitar textures, warm three-part harmonies, and songs that celebrate community, creativity, and the joy of making music together.

The band just released their debut album, Lift Up This Old World, in July 2025 on Adhyaropa Records—and it's already earning critical acclaim. Rooted in the rich traditions of bluegrass and old-time music, the album features ten original tracks that explore themes of resilience, hope, acceptance, and heartfelt emotion. From foot-stomping tunes to soul-stirring ballads, this collection invites listeners to trust their journey and connect deeply through both time-honored sounds and fresh, authentic songwriting.

From TimeOut NY: "The group has a synchronicity and dynamism that is undeniably addictive and have been garnering attention for their arrangements, entertaining live shows and virtuosity”
