Head for the Hills Bluegrass Band shakes the dust off old-time songs and fills them with new life. The founding members met at a rowdy bluegrass jam in Olympia, Washington. Sharing a musical kinship bordering on the brotherly, they quickly began pursuing their own hard-driving interpretations and heartfelt two- and three- part harmony adaptations of the traditional songs they love.

While busking in Seattle one fine day they met fiddler--and multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire--Emily Keene. They immediately recognized her as their long lost musical aunt and invited her to join the band. Since then they have played festivals, colleges, pubs, cafes, parties, farmers' markets, and street corners across the Pacific Northwest, and have been known to wrangle innocent bystanders into spontaneous bouts of square dancing. Head for the Hills Bluegrass Band performs a high-energy set that puts smiles on faces and draws young and old alike to the dance floor.
