Hilton Family Music (H.F.M.) is a family band singing Christian
music. However, H.F.M. breaks all the stereo types. They have
travelled throughout Canada, the US and parts of the world bringing
their message of Jesus Christ and His love but in ways you might not
expect.
Likened to the styling
of the Charlie Daniels band, H.F.M. brings a blazing sound that
excites audiences of all ages, race and cultural backgrounds. HFM
evolved to the place they are today by experimenting with the
poignant sound of the mandolin, mixed with the powerful edge of the
lead guitar, blended with a sassy fiddle and the melodic rhythm of
the acoustic guitar. Take that and add energetic percussions, a
distinct bass, harmonica, keys, and three part vocal harmony and you
have a modern country sound that will bless audiences regardless of
genre preferences.
It's music with a
message that keeps the wheels turning. Whether it’s playing at a
church, a street mission, a theatre, an open air concert or the
prison, it’s clear people come with needs; needs of encouragement,
acceptance, healing, love, and motivation. H.F.M. brings songs they
have written and arranged from personal experience and conviction,
sung with passion and an unwavering trust that God’s word will not
return unto Him void. Because H.F.M.’s message in music comes in the
name of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, people leave changed
and challenged.
H.F.M. now in its
fifteenth year is still a young band. Hailing from rural Southern
Ontario they are made up of industry veterans, when you consider
some of its members have been playing since they were six years old.
The band is made up of Eric Hilton, Cathy Hilton, Julia (Hilton)
Johnson, Dale Hilton, and Greg Kekes. Their latest album, “Ready to
Serve” , was nominated for Country Album of the Year and their song
“Praise Him” was nominated for Southern Gospel Song of the Year by
the GMA of Canada. While these accolades are an encouragement to the
band, it’s speaking into the lives of people that bring them the
greatest satisfaction.
Hilton Family Music: Making music for people, motivating people for
Jesus.
