hook and line

​Hook + Line (from the album Lemons and Limes available on Nahaku Records)
Big city life and its whiskey Blues was not for Hook + Line, so the Folk Americana outfit left concrete buildings behind and headed out for the country. Luckily, Honolulu, Hawaii is close to rural territory, so Hook + Line set up camp in the Oahu countryside, feasting on the Lemons and Limes of the recent album title and proceeded to make music. The current four-piece (songwriter Jacob Staron (guitar, vocals), Mari Maffioli (harmonica, washboard, vocals) Caroline Pond (fiddle), Alex Morrison (bass), Jonathon Heraux (drums)) present their debut with Lemons and Limes.
Scratchy rhythms roll like waves and warm like sun-heated sand as Hook + Line pick out notes to send a song from their Hawaiian home to “Rocky Mountains”, ask “What is Love Anymore” with a busker’s bounce, caffeinate the rhythms to race across “Let Me Give You That”, and strum up Country for the truth-telling of “When I’m Gone (the Laundry Song)”. Through the magic of music, Hook + Line make the Hawaiian island chain safe for string bands with their love, and creation, of mountain music. Fiddle and guitar partner to open Lemons and Limes with “Holly” as Hook + Live wrap “Tired of Singing the Blues” in a sad melody while their island home hears “The Waves Roll In” and wishes “Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me” on the band’s cover of a Mississippi John Hurt tune.
