Darrin Hacquard

Lexington, Kentucky

Darrin Hacquard paid his dues in West Virginia-based old-time string band The Fox Hunt, whose members went on to perform with the Hackensaw Boys and Laura Mae Socks. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, his debut solo record, “Signs and Wonders,” lies somewhere between the rough-and-tumble drunkenness of “Tonight’s the Night” Neil Young, the psychedelic bluegrass excursions of Dillard & Clark, and fellow Ohioan David Allan Coe in his Columbia prime.
