The HILTON PARK sound is authentic and endearingly classic, with enough modern grit to captivate today’s audience. The backdrop of their live performances looks like the wall of a music store, with acoustic guitars, mandolin, dobro, weissenborn, Irish bouzouki… up to 9 instruments at any given show, plus Pannier’s piano.
Along with the varied instrumentation, stylish and confident 3-part vocal harmonies fill the repertoire, combining the ‘blood harmony’ recalled in family acts from the Everly Brothers to the Avett Brothers with a melodic skill often compared to Crosby, Stills and Nash. Their songwriting style shows New England savvy, yet with roots in the Deep South.
