High buzzing vocal harmonies, fleet instrumental picking on mandolin, acoustic guitar, fiddle and resonator guitar, coupled with their off-the-cuff stage banter and of course, those classic brown suits, The Hunger Mountain Boys [2] have a duet show like no other on the touring scene today. In the tradition and spirit of the classic country duets of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's, they capture the authentic early-American country sound and the fiery energy of such legendary duets as the Monroe Brothers and Louvin Brothers.
In addition to recording and performing a variety of old classics and rarities ranging from stringband-style barn-burners to weepy emotional death ballads, the 'Boys write much of their own heartfelt material, even taking 1st place in the 2003 Mountain Stage NewSong songwriting and performing contest.
