CHECK OUT THE WEB SITE FOR BOSS HAWG"S CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boss Hawgs home pen is the mountain town of Boone N.C. The Hawg formed in 2003 at a party on the ridge of the Blue Ridge Mtns. The band quickly discovered that combining their contemporary rendition of traditional Appalachian Mountain music with fun loving audiences produced a natural high-energy vibe that can be linked to the once-a-month barn dances from the turn of the century. But their love of bluegrass and old-time string music is only half the story. Principle songwriter Jon Davis has the ability to sing and write songs that seep of lifetimes of experiences. Jon doesnt so much write songs, as he seems to channel them, sometimes onstage in front of a live audience. A Boss Hawg show will usually comprise of newgrass instrumentals, super-country-funk songwriting, and straight-ahead bluegrass that keeps one foot planted in the cornfield of tradition.The two original members, Jon Davis on Guitar and Brian Swenk on banjo. Kim France plays bass and sings. Zeb walked backstage at a gig and confidently announced, I am your new fiddle player, and this is our first gig together. 30 minutes, another crush, and one fiddle solo later we learned that he was correct on every count. Zebs vast experience in the rock/jazz/classical world with an instrument called the violin (I swear it looks just like a fiddle) allows the second wing to sprout and suddenly the proverbial pig is flying. Zeb was born and raised in the foreign lands of California and the Hawg is extremely happy that he decided to move to America. Boss Hawg can be contacted by calling Jon Jon Davis @ 828 262 9972
