Hell or High Water is a New York City–based roots-rock band built for a good time. Blending classic rock, Americana, country, Irish favorites, jams and the occasional unexpected gem, HoHW brings a loose, energetic, sing-along spirit to every show. From neighborhood pubs and beach bars to charity events and packed parties, the band’s sets are all about good tunes, good friends and keeping the room moving. No two shows are quite the same—and that’s exactly the way we like it.
“It's like a night of bar hopping with John Lennon, Jerry Garcia and Keith Richards, with Bobby Dylan driving the limo. — overheard at a gig”
The straw that stirs the drink. A classic blues harp road warrior, Charlie's harp brings the lightning to the HoHW thunder. 30+ years on with HoHW, keeping us well stirred.
Playing music since 1969 in the Catskills. Now 30+ years on with HoHW, hundreds of great gigs and awesome friendships — every show still feels like opening night.
Our master of the Stratocaster (and PRS…etc.). Blazing solos, fretboard fireworks and oh-so-soulful vocals to complete the package.
The thunder from down under holds this chaos carnival together. Tasty bass lines and from-the-soul vocals, delivered full throttle every single show.
Our secret weapon — swings that rhythm like a ballroom dancer, with vocals that go next level. Drums, vocals, harmonies… the whole package.
The missing piece, found 30+ years ago. Blazing keys, big-time vocals, and the contagious energy that gets every room's toes tapping.
First as drummer, now as guitarist — this crew has been Charlie's extended family for over 30 years. Friendship, music & laughter… this crew embodies it all.
