About
Hailing from Southern Maine, HILTON PARK is known for earthy, emotionally expressive and superbly crafted Americana, Folk & Blues After the release of their debut CD, 'Greener Grass', in November 2013, the group started getting immediate attention. In 2014, Hilton Park received two nominations: New England Music Awards "Americana/Roots Act of the Year", and Spotlight Awards "Best Americana/Roots Folk Group". Hilton Park took home the win in 2015 with a New England Music Award for "Best In State: Maine".
Their sophomore release "Strings", continues to be added to Americana radio playlists across the U.S. and in Europe.
The HILTON PARK sound is authentic and endearingly classic, with enough modern grit to captivate today's audience. Stylish and confident 3-part vocal harmonies fill the repertoire, combining the 'blood harmony' only heard in family acts (from the Everly Brothers to the Avett Brothers) with a melodic skill often compared to Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Hilton Park is creating a whole new genre for current music. They have reinvented acoustic
Amy Nachbar, Boston Examiner
Hilton Park has made quite a name for itself in the circles of acoustic music. Their originals ring out in every note with pop brightness, harmonic finesse, and within the framework of good song craft....Hilton Park just might be the beginning of a huge music scene trend gaining more mainstream appeal.

Hilton Park's new album 'Strings' tells its story with a warm, family tenderness that everything is going to be okay so long as you listen closely… like a sweet flowing fabric that catches warm breezes as it dries on the line out back of your summer home. From rowdy saloon bustling ballads, to soft, candied flowering story, there is something for everyone in this album.
Megan Gazzo, The Equal Ground
Consistently innocent and accessible, and often idealistic…This is a very good group and I suspect that they will get better and better.
