Television Hill has been trafficking in folk futures and transmitting intermittently to Baltimore and vicinity for well over 7 years. The bands main impetus lies in the wily words and guitar work of singer/songwriter Rob Wilson who marshals his band members far afield through shorey blues, staggered stomps, and Winchester waltzes. Their most recent release Twilight (Teneral 2005) has received international attention and has enabled the band to establish a favorable foothold along the ever-expanding musical frontier of indie-Americana.
Television Hill is putting the finishing touches on My Names Hardin, a concept EP that takes a poke at the title of Bob Dylans 1967 release John Wesley Harding. Unlike Dylans 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 currently consists of Rob Wilson, Dave Heumann, David Bergander and Walker Teret.
