The Hacklewrappers are an Americana/folk/bluegrass band based in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) east metro area. We're a member band of the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association (MBOTMA).
Here's a link to a video of one of our appearances at a street event in North St. Paul in August, 2014:
