Press Kit - Bio

Haymakers takes the concept of the string band and plugs it into a broad swath of acoustic music that stretches from traditional folk to americana, from Appalachian mountain music to western swing, and even into the realm of the jamband. Dustin Arbuckle (vocals/harmonica), Tom Page (vocals/guitar), Evan Ogborn (mandolin) and Caleb Drummond (bass/vocals) lock into an array of grooves that go in and outside the box of traditional acoustic music.

“Haymakers’ sound starts with the classic string band idea of a well-oiled acoustic music machine, piles on traditional folk, Americana, mountain music, and western swing, and, finally, heaps on lush multi-part harmonies.” - Americana Rhythm Magazine

Critical acclaim for Haymakers

“Featuring beautiful mandolin and harmony vocals, Haymakers' upcoming album, ‘Live at the Art Church’ showcases what Haymakers do best: entertaining their audiences as a jamming string-band. Haymakers’ music – both traditional songs and original compositions – incorporates a wide range of acoustic genres. With upright bass, guitar, harmonica and a superb mandolin section, their expertly performed blend of instruments is perfect for live settings, so the band’s new live album fills the gap left by a pandemic-interrupted touring schedule.” - Americana UK
