“[Mountain John has] the greatest voice in country music.” – Johnny Cash
“Peter writes, plays and sings wonderfully well and his songs
are filled with humor, heart and conscience.” – Utah Phillips
“[Moe Dixon’s] magical performances are highlighted by masterful
guitar playing, powerful vocals and ingenious songwriting.” – Sisters Folk Festival
Three solo performers first met in the late 1970s in southern Vermont while performing on the New England folk music circuit. Over the years they’ve performed as duos and trios across the country. In 2008 they spent a week in the mountains of Pennsylvania dusting off their musical partnership and writing songs. That gathering has become an annual event – dubbed “Troubadour Camp” – and has generated a body of work that includes over 60 songs and an undetermined number of stories.
Johnny Cash said Mountain John Hilligoss has the “the greatest voice in country music.”He’s equal parts cowboy poet, operatic baritone, stand-up comedian and country crooner. His career spans stints in the thick of the Los Angeles folk music scene of the 1970s, years working Nashville’s music row and literally millions of miles performing original songs and telling stories at festivals, night clubs and concert halls in every state, Canada and Europe. His videos have been featured on the Nashville Network and TNN. His travels have brought him onto stages with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris and more. His poetry has been given the “Editors Choice Award” by the National Library of Poetry.
