Hailing from New England, The Hazel Project pays tribute to the music written or recorded by bluegrass pioneers Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard. These groundbreaking women tackled subjects from social injustice to the hardships of workers, as well as love and loss. The Hazel Project weaves the rich history of the songs into their performances. With Betsy Green (fiddle), Gretchen Bowder (banjo), Winnie Roy (guitar), and Lindsay Talmage (bass), the group features strong lead singing from each member and sweet soaring harmonies underpinned by traditional grassroots music. The Hazel Project was featured in Bluegrass Unlimited and has played at the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in Owensboro, KY as part of the ROMP festival, as well as many festivals throughout the Northeast. Their 2026 collaboration with bluegrass legend Alice Gerrard at the Joe Val Festival was a true honor for the band, culminating in a heartfelt performance that brought the audience to their feet.

The Hazel Project is proud to have been featured in the March 2025 issue of Bluegrass Unlimited magazine. If you are a subscriber, you can see that article at https://bluegrassunlimited.com/article/more-than-a-tribute-band/ or read it here:
