ABOUT // Currently based out of both New Jersey and North Carolina, Hidden Cabins is an eclectic, indie alt-folk group comprised of Craig Cirinelli (microphone/hand percussion) & Brian Hofgesang (guitars/textures), writing melodic songs with a simplified vision, yet complex emotive flair. Far reaching exposure has seen the duo journey both within and outside of the US on multiple trips to England, reaching Scotland, Spain and Canada, to perform.
Hidden Cabins 'small batch' split releases have found their way across multiple countries with the help of multiple indie labels. Their first few recordings were tracked as a duo, with textured acoustic and electric guitars, thought-provoking, powerful vocals, and simplistic synth beats alongside organic hand percussion weaving through their sound. In this format, Hidden Cabins supported two 10-inch vinyl releases, a CD EP and a flexi 7-inch on indie labels such as Engineer Records (UK), Koi Records (US), Combover Records (US), Oak Apple Records (CAN), and Friends+Neighbors collective (US).
After years of solely performing as a duo, Hidden Cabins expanded their sound by joining up with drummer Rich Perry and bassist Jason DelGuidice, recording an EP as a four piece aptly titled The Hidden Cabins Band, which widened the scope of their sound. This EP arrived on indie labels Engineer Records (UK) and Pyrrhic Victory Recordings (US). Within their active gigging schedule, the band played intermittently as a four-piece thereafter, when an out-of-state relocation within the band resulted in the group's hiatus. in 2018. Enter 2024, Brian and Craig reignited Hidden Cabins, recording a new batch of material while also rebooting their live set, gigging between duo, trio and four-piece band sets after longtime friends Brian Leahy and Tom Conti energetically joined the fold. This flexibility of delivering their songs has brought Hidden Cabins back to rooms near and far.
Hidden Cabins' first new single "Anxiety Hides" arrived in August 2025 on Creep Records/Cobra Cafe (USA) and Engineer Records (UK). This partnership will expand to include both labels alongside new startup Hidden Tracks Records (USA) for a 12" record entitled Two Sides, Two Stories for November 2025. The strength-in-numbers approach keeps surrounding the community aspect the group has nurtured and cherished since inception.
