Back Off THE Hammer

Foot stomping jug band meets back country blues in the music of Back Off the Hammer.” The duo harnesses traditional themes of love, loneliness, and travels to old-timey melodies, swinging harmonica and steel guitar riffs, and no-nonsense banjo lines, singing stories the mountains themselves couldn’t tell with more sincerity.
“Hosner’s stoney voice bends around Schenkelberg’s gravelly vocals and memorable string solos like the roads in their songs.” Soul singer/songwriter Emily Hurd recently joined the duo, transforming the performance into nothing short of an Appalachian-style revival.
