Built on more than 15 years of tradition, Hillfolk Noir takes their acoustic guitar, double bass, and “anything you can find at a hardware store” sound and integrates driving drums and an electrified sound, kicking down limitations to create a vibe that goes beyond their “junkerdash” roots.

​

Hailing from Boise, Idaho, the always young-at-heart Hillfolk Noir has been carving their own musical path for over a decade. Their sound is uniquely their own – grooving, raucous, genre-bending, and always a ton of fun. The indelible through-line is rooted in the band’s song craftsmanship. From mountains of frontman Travis Ward’s ragged, spiral-bound notebooks comes the hard and tender. They can blow the roof off the place or draw you around the fire with their earnest musical narratives of the back alleys, the open range, and the front porch. They paint with sound the earnest stories about the lives of lovers, law-breakers, and the lion-hearted. Heroes and outcasts alike.
