Their Face Book page says… “a hawk and a hacksaw- began in saumur, france in 2000, then moved to leicester, england, then on to albuquerque, new mexico, then to budapest and back to albuquerque. it is difficult to remember all the musicians who have played in the band but some of them are – jeremy barnes, heather trost, ferenc kovacs, mark weaver, dan clucas, sam “corndog” johnson, unger balazs, sulo calin, dave “the diminisher” mcdonnell, ariel muniz, Papalazaru Hladowski,among others. there are four records, and an ep.”

“The sound of Jeremy Barnes’ hammered dulcimer sucked all other sound from the room, like myriad rattle-cage voices quivering through the amps. Immediately, opening band A Hawk and A Hacksaw established the tone of the night: power through sincerity and space. Barnes and violinist Heather Trost play it straight — even their virtuoso finger-work and ascending solos in 11/8 come across humbly — but because of their lack of embellishment, and the solid energy of their music, I fully immersed myself in the sound.

A Hawk and a Hacksaw takes most of its cues from many Eastern European folk traditions, weaving a set of traditional songs and originals seamlessly. Their dance numbers featuring accordion and violin created a soaring feeling at times, and their ballads pushed away the walls of the room. Barnes and Trost had a fine sense of dynamics and tone — their instruments came through the amps angelic instead of distorted. Trost wove her voice through with vulnerability, but not overwrought emotion.”KDHX St. Louis
