Thundergrass!

What started as an accidental meeting of musicians around a campfire has become a progressive bluegrass bomb that has exploded on the festival scene in the North East! By playing original music in an innovative style that is both experimental and familiar, HogMaw has quickly gained a reputation as something that you have to see first hand.

In only 4 years together HogMaw's resume includes over 60 festival appearances and nearly 200 total performances. These include major musical events such as the 50th Philadelphia Folk Festival, 2 appearances at DelFest in Cumberland MD, Camp Jam in the Pines in Monroeville NJ, Allentown, PA's Musikfest. They have opened for National acts such as GRAMMY award winners The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Bluegrass legends like Peter Rowan, The Seldom Scene, and Tony Trischka. HogMaw also appears on the band scene and has the honor of opening for jamgrass powerhouses Cornmeal, Hackensaw Boys, and Cabinet. They have also had many headlining performances of their own at major hot spots for original music such as The Trocedero, World Cafe Live, Tin Angel, and North Star Bar in their homebase of Philadelphia. The Blairstown Theater, The Strand Capitol Theater in York PA, The Sellersville Theater, The Historic Strand Theater in Lakewood, NJ and various clubs all over the northeast. The band headlined the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Bucks Co. Bluegrass Festival at Snipe's Farm in Morrisville, Pa and also won the 2009 York Revolution Battle of the Bands where they played for a full stadium of 7000+ people.

Through a fan based fundraising project HogMaw was able to release their full length debut effot "Wake" in July of 2012. Produced by Ernie Tokay and mixed/mastered by Grammy winner Phil Nicolo, "Wake" is a daring romp featuring their own brand of THUNDERGRASS songs, transcending instrumentals, and a whole lot of wood chopping! "Wake" truly is an acoustical accomplishment that came out to much critical and local acclaim. The band hopes to tour and make a national splash through 2013 with the new release. "Wake" is available on iTunes, Amazon.com, and cdbaby.com, you can also give it a listen for free on the music service Spotify as well.

A whoopin' ,hollerin' , and foot stompin' good time featuring melodic and edgy originals with strong roots in traditional bluegrass, appalachian, and irish music. HogMaw also plays a full compliment of traditional bluegrass, covers, and even some classic rock at their live shows. Stop out and "dance yer ass off" at one of their shows near you! Pick up the new cd "Wake" today on iTunes, Amazon.com, cdbaby.com, or get one at a show sometime!!!!
