PROJECTS AND BANDS
Hilary Hawke Band (2022-current)
The Hilary Hawke Band is a 4-piece band with fiddler Camille Howes, banjoist Hilary Hawke, guitarist Ross Martin and bassist Max Johnson. With a focus on improvisation and original songs the band got together in the Fall of 2022 for their love of bluegrass and old-time music and immediately knew they needed to perform together. The Hilary Hawke Band regularly plays at the iconic Sunny’s Bar in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Quartet Davis is an ensemble of holistic musicians trained in classical chamber music but with roots in folk and blues-based music. They were drawn together by an excitement for exploring these varied traditions and a love for the string quartet model. Combining original compositions, compelling arrangements, and vocal harmonies, they bring a fresh spirit of creativity to chamber music, while also honoring the many musical traditions they explore. Improvisation is central to their creative process, informing solos, freely improvised pieces, and spontaneous discovery within performance.
Creative Strings Workshop (2015-current)
“Creative Strings” initiatives with the founding of Camille Catherine, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the expansion and improvement of music education, with a focus on the development of curriculum and programs for classically trained string players and teachers to expand their skills as creative musicians.
