Bluegrass Festivals at Snipe’s Farm in Morrisville, Pa and also won the 2009 York Revolution Battle of the Bands where they played for a packed stadium of 7000 rev's fans.</p> <p>The music is a whoopin' ,hollerin' , and foot stompin' good time featuring melodic and edgy originals with strong roots in traditional bluegrass, appalachian, and irish music. HogMaw also plays a full compliment of traditional bluegrass, covers, and even some classic rock at their live shows. Stop out and "dance yer ass off" at one of their shows!</p> <p>HogMaw is Matt Baldwin on guitar and vocals, multi-instrumentalist Colin Reeves on mandolin, banjo, dobro, manjo (combination banjo mandolin), and occasional guitar, and Ryann Lynch on fiddle and foot percussion.

Grass roots support from an ever growing fan base has helped spread the word about HogMaw far beyond the band’s geographic reach. Through a fan supported donation based FREE CD project HogMaw has distributed thousands of CD’s of their live performances to fans that have attended their shows. Each fan is encouraged to “Please Copy and Distribute”, and an alarming number have done just that.

Sure they have a traditional Bluegrass swagger, but bluegrass just isn’t big enough to contain their sound. Add the title jam band, call them progressive, and you’re a bit closer, and be aware that they rock the f**k out." --Jonathan Hunt, TriState Indie</p> <p>"HogMawwwww I love saying that. you guys are terrific pickers I mean that" - Gene Shay on the Folk Show 88.5 WXPN Philadelphia</p>
