Synopsis

Product Description
Since forming in 2008, The HillBenders have been winning over audiences from coast
to coast with their unique style, original compositions and relentless drive. Claiming
the championship title at the 2009 Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition helped
put the band on the map, and their recent victory at the National Single Microphone
Championships proved that they are a force to be reckoned with. The HillBenders
have become a must-see act with repeat appearances at some of the country's
premiere music events including the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, RockyGrass, Grey
Fox Bluegrass Festival, International Bluegrass Music Association's Fan Fest, Walnut
Valley Festival and many more.

Can You Hear Me? is a powerful mix of original music and unique covers which
showcases the band's vocal diversity and instrumental virtuosity. Austin-bred mandolin
player Nolan Lawrence provides the group's distinctive soulful, blues-tinged vocals
while California-born banjoist Mark Cassidy, cousins guitarist Jim Rea and bassist
Gary Rea with dobroist Chad 'Gravy Boat' Graves are all called on to contribute lead
and harmony vocals as well as scorching instrumental solos. Stand-out tracks include
the kick off track 'Train Whistle' with its infectious groove reminiscent of New Grass
Revival, the funky and high energy 'Concrete Ribbon' and the evocative dobro-led
instrumental 'Gettysburg.'
