Bio

The Hackles are a folk collaboration from the oldest settlement west of the rockies, Astoria, Oregon. The core band is comprised of Kati Claborn, Luke Ydstie, & Halli Anderson.  


Powerful three-part harmonies, unconventional & nuanced use of guitar, violin, banjo & clarinet, & songwriting/leading contributions from all three members create a compelling & unique blend of folk & Americana.  


They have released four albums, “The Twilight’s Calling it Quits” (2018), & “A Dobritch Did as a Dobritch Should” (2019), “Songs for the Fool” (2022) & “What a Beautiful Thing I Have Made” (2023). 


The folks of the Hackles have a decade-plus worth of touring under their belts both nationally & internationally- Claborn & Ydstie as members of Blind Pilot, & Anderson as a member of River Whyless. They can sometimes also be seen playing with Horse Feathers, Alela Diane, Michael Hurley & Bart Budwig.  


“Highly refined songwriting & awe-inspiring harmonies”- Rough Trade


“Intelligent, highly-melodic song-writing with infectious instrumental hooks, perfectly offset by sumptuous harmonies”- David Pratt, Folk Radio UK
