“Killer oldtimey Americana”

"There's heartache in much of the music, even as it skips along at a toe-tapping pace..."This is the kind of stuff that's supposed to last long enough to become old timey...Maybe unconventionality is the old-timey-est concept of all. Prompting a fish to try dry land, or a man to start a fire."


“This is pure country! Old country with a new twist!”

“A jugband exuberance!”

…”Like a spark that lights up a room when she gets on stage”…Jan Bell-The Maybelles, Jan Bell and the Cheap Dates 2009

"Hilary Hawke has more personality in her little finger than most do in their large bodies."
"Gospel, Old Timey, Bluegrass, 70's musical and Spiritual swim in their heads and get displayed for your delectation and delight"
"Hilary Hawke isn't your average composer, there's something in her head that's just not normal, thank goodness, Like sailor to siren, stupified and enchanted, unable to look back...by the time you figure it out, you're a part of the pack."
