Hackensaw Boys are currently on the road for their Love What You Do 20th Anniversary Tour. To celebrate the album’s legacy and the group’s endurance as a force in the Americana scene, they’ll be giving longtime fans a performance of the entire tracklist and pressing the album to vinyl for the first time. Tickets are now on sale for shows on the East Coast and in the Midwest this fall, and the band will soon be announcing dates for the winter and spring.
 
 On November 13, Hackensaw Boys will be bringing Love What You Do to The Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY with Mike Oberst & Justine Cefalu opening!

Love What You Do was released in 2005 on Nettwerk Records, at that time the label home of Old Crow Medicine Show, Barenaked Ladies, Foghorn Stringband, and many others. Combining influences from American traditional music and modern indie rock, the album sessions produced a myriad of songs that are beloved by fans to this day. Founding member David Sickmen has led an evolving lineup through many album cycles over the two decades since, and yet fans all over the country still request songs like “Alabama Shamrock” and “Sun’s Work Undone” at almost every show. On the Love What You Do 20th Anniversary Tour, the band plans to give longtime listeners fresh interpretations of these classic songs while hewing close to the spirit of the original recordings.

Hackensaw Boys are based in Lynchburg, Virginia, and have been touring since 1999. They are known throughout the U.S. and Europe for their high-energy live shows and for their use of the “charismo,” a DIY percussion instrument built out of cans and other household objects. The current lineup includes David Sickmen (guitar), Caleb Powers (fiddle), Thomas Olivier (mandolin), Taylor Shuck (banjo), Aaron Smith (bass), and Bee Roberts (percussion).
