The Old Firehouse likes to be refreshed from time to time with folks we haven’t heard from before. Hailing from Southern Maine, Hilton Park is known in the Northeastern U.S. for earthy, emotionally expressive and superbly crafted Americana, Folk & Blues. Every song tells a story, and there’s a story behind every song. Combining veteran musical & songwriting skill with teen enthusasm, father/son team Bruce and Conor Hilton and family friend Gregg Pannier explore intimate musical textures with their sophomore release “Strings”, digging into the roots of American Blues, Folk Rock and Country, while maintaining a contemporary feel that is 100% Hilton Park.

The Hilton Park sound is authentic and endearingly classic, with enough modern grit to captivate today’s audience. The backdrop of their live performances looks like the wall of a music store, with acoustic guitars, mandolin, dobro, weissenborn, Irish bouzouki… up to 9 instruments at any given show, plus Pannier’s piano. Along with the varied instrumentation, stylish and confident 3-part vocal harmonies fill the repertoire, combining the ‘blood harmony’ recalled in family acts from the Everly Brothers to the Avett Brothers with a melodic skill often compared to Crosby, Stills and Nash. Their songwriting style shows New England savvy, yet with roots in the Deep South. They’ve won multiple awards for their performances, including “Best Band in Maine”

All concerts are on Friday nights at 7:30 PM in Tinmouth village. The Old Firehouse is on Mountain View Road just a few hundred feet south of the intersection with Vermont 140.
