Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Onstage company

Documented collaborators

Hillfolk Noir delivers a distinctive blend known as Junkerdash—a genre-melding mix of folk, bluegrass, string-band blues, and punk. With core members Travis Ward on guitar and vocals, Alison Ward on musical saw, washboard, and harmonies, and Mike Waite on double bass, the group crafts high-energy performances that traverse acoustic intensity and lyrical storytelling. Based in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, they’ve built a reputation for raw, heartfelt shows that connect with both traditional folk fans and adventurous listeners.
