The Hackensaw Boys
are an eight-man acoustic unit that combines the primitive strains of old-time mountain and string band music with modern-day sensibilities. In fact, the group has shared the stage with acts that range from experimental indie-rockers
the Flaming Lips
to hip-hoppers
De La Soul
. The roots of
the Hackensaw Boys
go back to late 1999 in Charlottesville, VA, when
Dave Sickmen
and
Tom Peloso
set out to form a group. At a gig by the similarly minded
Old Crow Medicine Show
,
the two met up with future primary members
Robbie St. Ours
(multi-instrumentalist) and
Rob Bullington
(mandolin). The four ended up on-stage and found they had immediate chemistry. Subsequently, the group played regular engagements around Charlottesville (including street busking and a residency at the Blue Moon Diner) as musicians moved through its ranks. At one point,
the Hackensaw Boys
consisted of a dozen players; by the time they got around to recording their debut album,
Get Some
, on reel-to-reel in the living room in 2000, it was a nine-man unit. Heading into their self-released sophomore album, 2002's
Keep It Simple
, the group had stabilized at eight players. ~ Erik Hage, All Music Guide
