A Hawk and A Hacksaw is Jeremy Barnes
(accordion, vocals) and Heather Trost (violin, vocals) from
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Their sound is a fantastical and
emotive mix of East European folk, Gypsy song, Klezmer, Mexican
fanfare and gorgeous cinematic flourishes, with pockets of
classic song-writing.
For this very special tour, Jeremy and Heather recruited a
group of four adventurous musicians from Hungary to present
their music at its most ambitious and intricate best, featuring
bagpipes, clarinet, saxophone, taragoto, trumpet, drums, accordion,
upright bass, viola and violin. The show will included stunning
new music, reworkings of traditional Hungarian and Balkan
folk songs, and material from AHAAH's back catalogue.
AHAAH's incandescent third album, The Way The Wind Blows,
was partly recorded in a remote Romanian village with members
of the Balkan folk group Fanfare Ciocârlia. Its release
in 2006 to critical acclaim boosted an already feverish word-of-mouth
reputation.
