HEAD FOR THE HILLS

"Head for the Hills has created a sound that is all at once organic, precise, timeless, and brand-new,” as reported by the Missoula Independent. The acclaimed Colorado Bluegrass quartet has been receiving nation-wide recognition in response to their refreshing take on acoustic music. Described as progressive acoustic/contemporary roots, H4TH produces an endearing mixture of homegrown compositions, traditional harmonies, and improvisation. In the live setting, H4TH effortlessly ventures into a myriad of musical styles and sonic landscapes that appeal to a boundless array of listeners. The past year has been outright explosive year for the quartet, having been voted by the Westword (Denver, CO) as the “Best Bluegrass” band in Colorado, a highly esteemed honor. Additionally, the band has been receiving national attention, not only from their recently released self-titled studio effort, but also from E-Town (Boulder based not for profit radio station and community builder). A portion of their performance of Harvestival-Fort Collins, CO (recorded October 2009), was aired nationally on radio stations this past April, alongside the David Grisman Quintet, who also performed at the event. The group was selected to perform at SxSW in 2011, and were also a "SxSW Critics Picks-Must See" choice, via the Austin Statesman/360
