“Featuring beautiful mandolin and harmony vocals, Haymakers' upcoming album, Live at the Art Church showcases what Haymakers do best: entertaining their audiences as a jamming string-band. Haymakers music both traditional songs and original compositions incorporates a wide range of acoustic genres. With upright bass, guitar, harmonica and a superb mandolin section, their expertly performed blend of instruments is perfect for live settings, so the bands new live album fills the gap left by a pandemic-interrupted touring schedule”. - Americana UK
