The Old Firehouse likes to be refreshed from time to time with folks we haven’t heard from before. We’ll be hearing from Hilton Park at 7:30 on April 22 in Tinmouth. Hailing from Southern Maine, Hilton Park is known in the Northeastern U.S. for earthy, emotionally expressive and superbly crafted Americana, Folk & Blues. Every song tells a story, and there’s a story behind every song. Combining veteran musical & songwriting skill with teen enthusiasm, father/son team Bruce and Conor Hilton and family friend Gregg Pannier explore intimate musical textures, digging into the roots of American Blues, Folk Rock and Country, while maintaining a contemporary feel of their own.
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 with melodic skill. Their songwriting style shows New England savvy, yet with roots in the Deep South. They’ve won multiple awards for their performances, including “Best Band in Maine”
The Old Firehouse is at Mountain View Road and Vt. 140 in downtown Tinmouth. Doors will open at 7 PM. There is a suggested donation of $10, 90% of which goes to the performers. Home made desserts, coffee and tea will be available; donations for them will help support community activities.
