THE HORSENECKS
The Horsenecks are Gabrielle Macrae and Barry Southern. Based in Astoria, Oregon, they are two multi-instrumentalists who have come together from traditional music backgrounds and found a sound that weaves through layers of influence that include early Appalachian stringband music, classic country, bluegrass and original folk. Gabrielle’s fiddle style is the result of being raised in the Old Time music hotbed of Portland, OR and being exposed to the fiddle traditions of the Southeast US through years of traveling to festivals and learning from some of the greatest players in the genre. She gained notoriety as a clawhammer banjo player through her work with the Macrae Sisters, and formed the Horsenecks with Barry after the two met at a music festival in 2012. Barry’s banjo and guitar playing range from thrilling and high-octane to moody and captivating, and his versatility shines whether flatpicking, playing clawhammer, or driving three-finger banjo.
Barry has been a luminary in his home town of Liverpool’s music scene for over 20 years, playing lead guitar with cult heroes Tramp Attack, banjo with Liverpool’s popular bluegrass party band The Loose Moose Stringband, and with multiple groups in the UK’s bluegrass and old time scene. Both songwriters bring together their background in traditional music and modern influences across many genres to create a catalog of songs that speak to their place in the evolving story of traditional music. Together, they create a distinctive sound, their deft musicianship, creative instincts and powerful harmony singing front and center, earning them a place among the leading interpreters of Old Time music today.
THE HACKLES
The Hackles are a folk collaboration from Astoria, Oregon. The band is comprised of Kati Claborn, Luke Ydstie, & Halli Anderson.
Powerful three-part harmonies & an unconventional & nuanced use of guitar, violin, banjo & clarinet combine to create a compelling & unique blend of folk & Americana.
All three take lead vocals & contribute as songwriters, imbuing their songs with compassion, humor & a dark honesty.
The band has released four albums, “The Twilight’s Calling it Quits” (2018), “A Dobritch Did as a Dobritch Should” (2019), “Songs for the Fool” (2022), & “What a Beautiful Thing I Have Made” (2023).
They have a decade-plus worth of touring under their belts nationally & internationally as The Hackles & as members of Horsefeathers, Blind Pilot (Claborn & Ydstie), & River Whyless (Anderson).
“Highly refined songwriting & awe-inspiring harmonies”- Rough Trade
“Intelligent, highly-melodic song-writing with infectious instrumental hooks, perfectly offset by sumptuous harmonies”- David Pratt, Folk Radio UK
