Hawk and A Hacksaw began in Saumur, France, in 2002, by Jeremy Barnes, the drummer of Neutral Milk Hotel, who, having burnt out on playing drums, picked up the accordion and became obsessed with folk music from Romania, Hungary, and Turkey. In 2004, Barnes moved home to New Mexico, and met his partner in life and music, violinist Heather Trost.
The pair toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe, and eventually further afield, to Brazil, Turkey, Australia, and Japan. They have worked with groups across the world, including the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Hungarian folk group The Hun Hangar Ensemble, directors Sergei Parajanov and Peter Strickland, and more.
