Hillstaxx
Hillary Paige Warring (HILLSTAXX), was born and raised in Maine in the small town of Bath. With a unique old-style singing and a touch of rock and roll. She began playing open mics, eventually traveling to Wimberly Texas recording her first EP at the Yellow Dog Studios. The lyrics take you on a journey around the years of becoming an adult in the northern woods. Her edgy look and classic voice bring out the American tomboy lifestyle telling her story. Right out of school she had challenges and began writing music around the experience and memories.
