Alternative string quartet, Hawktail, is a collection of four of the most exciting young voices in acoustic music today. Featuring Brittany Haas on fiddle, Jordan Tice on guitar, Paul Kowert on bass, and Dominic Leslie on mandolin, this super group’s members are most recognizable from their various other outfits including Punch Brothers, David Rawlings, Crooked Still, and A Prairie Home Companion. Their modern, original instrumental style is a stunning mix - bluegrass influenced fusion of fiddle-tune instrumentals, jazz, Celtic, and classical chamber music.
“While they are well versed in the old-time traditions, their music is fresh, lively, and consequential. In other words they are not imitators or replicators. As I said of them in my AmericanaFest wrap-up: ‘Without a doubt their set was my favorite of the week, a labyrinthine of complex yet accessible acoustic music that had me in a trance.’”
