Television Hill (band)

Television Hill is an American folk rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. They have been heavily influenced by American folk music and mythology. Their songs are unique and inventive - a love for words pushes each song through to its end.Fact|date=July 2007

Members

Rob Wilson is the lead singer and songwriter. Other members of the band are: Walker David Teret, David Bergander, and Dave Heumann. Dave Heumann has performed with many different bands such as Will Oldham's Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Matt Sweeney. Walker has his own old-time country band "Walker and Jay". Walker and Dave play together in Arboretum.

Recordings

Their first record, "Twilight", was released by Teneral Records and distributed by Morphius. It received quite favorable reviews. "Americana-UK Magazine" called it, "Near Perfect" and also says "It is fractured, it is unfocused it is Godamn brilliant." "Splendid" said, "Twilight is a hell of a dawn." Altcountry.nl said, "Television Hill: een schitterende band." "Ear Candy Magazine": "I have to admit, their version of “John The Revelator” is hands down the best version I’ve ever heard in my life. Fourteen folk, country, rock songs that make you feel like your listening to The Band fronted by Mick and Keith and everybody's been sipping from the mason jar." Twilight was recorded by Rob Girardi at Social Services in Baltimore, MD.

Television Hill is currently putting the finishing touches on My Names Hardin, a concept EP that takes a poke at the title of Bob Dylan's 1967 release John Wesley Harding. Unlike Dylan's recording, this six shot biographical work is an exciting incursion into the life and lore of the fastest gun in the west, Wes Hardin. The band's all-star line-up this drive consists of Rob Wilson, Dave Heumann, David Bergander and Walker Teret with additional performances by Tony Drummond.
