HogMaw we ain't your granny's bluegrass
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 3 short years together HogMaw's resume includes over 50 festival appearances and nearly 200 total performances. These include major musical events such as The Philadelphia Folk Festival in Schwenksville PA, DelFest in Cumberland MD, Camp Jam in the Pines in Monroeville NJ, and Allentown, PAs Musikfest. They have opened for National acts such as Ryan Montbleau, Packway Handle Band, Cornmeal and the Hackensaw Boys. They have also had many headlining performances of their own at major hot spots for original music such as the Mermaid Inn, Tin Angel, and North Star Bar in Philadelphia, The Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV and the Chameleon Club in Lancaster PA. The band headlined many local and regional bluegrass and and jam band festivals such as the 2010 and 2011 Bucks Co. Bluegrass Festival at Snipes Farm in Morrisville, Pa . In 2009 the band won the York Revolution Battle of the Bands where they played for a full stadium of 7000+ people. HogMaw is Matt Baldwin on guitar and vocals, multi-instrumentalist Colin Reeves on mandolin, banjo, dobro, manjo (combination banjo mandolin), and occasional guitar, and Ryann Lynch on fiddle and foot percussion. Like many touring trios HogMaw uses side man bass players for larger events. Grass roots support from an ever growing fan base has helped spread the word about HogMaw far beyond the bands geographic reach. Through a fan supported donation based FREE CD project HogMaw has distributed thousands of CDs of their live performances to fans that have attended their shows. Each fan is encouraged to Please Copy and Distribute, and an alarming number have done just that. Fans responded in a big way, spreading CDs to at least 4 different Continents, the Hawaiian Islands, both coasts of the continental USA, and Canada. HogMaw also encourages recording of their live shows and have posted many hours of free music online. Fans interested in downloading music or donating to the project can find information at www.hogmawband.net.
