Based in Western Massachusetts, the Hilltown Ham Hocks back tight harmonies and layered arrangements with a classic string band lineup. Hannah French (vox, banjo, fiddle), Colleen Stanton (vox, fiddle, guitar), Stevie Jick (vox, guitar, banjo), and Calvin Doiron (vox, upright bass) draw on a variety of North American musical traditions to create a unique “New England Gothic” sound for their repertoire of carefully crafted originals and distinctive covers. Release of their long-awaited debut album is expected in late 2026.
