The Hunger Mountain Boys are an old time, traditional duet featuring the sounds of guitar, fiddle, mandolin and dobro - just two at a time of course!

Based out of the Gt. Barrington/Monterey MA area, the duet features Ted Weber on guitar, dobro and vocals, and Kip Beacco on fiddle, mandolin, guitar and vocals. Concentrating on the brother-style duet harmony singing of such classics as The Monroe Brothers, The Louvin Brothers, and The Stanley Brothers, and reaching even further back in time to the 20’s and 30’s-style fiddle and guitar sounds of Arthur Smith, The Georgia Yellow Hammers and other similar fiddle stringband sounds, The Hunger Mountain Boys are stepping out on a trail filled with tradition while adding to it their own unique interpretations of old-fashioned country music.

Ted Weber has been playing music for 16 years. Previously a brass musician playing Cornet in college jazz and classical groups, Ted has been picking acoustic guitar and dobro in various informal ensembles in Maine and Colorado since 1997, and currently plays pedal steel for Mary & The Big Iron Skillet Band.

Around ‘78, Kip Beacco began playing guitar, and has since added the mandolin and fiddle to his repertoire. Within the last 12 years he has played in a Colorado-based bluegrass band called The GrassRoute, and currently plays with The Beartown Mountain Ramblers.
