Michael Curtis Hilde, a.k.a. Mountainhood (born October 18, 1981 in Northern California) is an American singer, songwriter, visual artist, and novelist. Prior to performing and recording as Mountainhood, Hilde was at various times known as Almaden, Almaden Wood, or Almaden Wood and the Transplendence XIV - taking the name from the Mercury mining town where Hilde grew up,〔Carbone Lewis, Jeanne. "Almaden’s renaissance man." Almaden Times. December 7, 2006〕 a place where Hells Angels and farmers lived.〔Chun, Kimberly. "Feeding the Fire of Mountainhood. San Francisco Bay Guardian. July 9, 2008〕 Though style and genre shift from album to album, it has been written that "This is introverted music played as the blues should be."〔Taylor, Peter. "Mountainhood: Year of the Mountain." Foxy Digitalis. 24 September 2008〕 While operating in San Francisco, Hilde curated and performed at a monthly gathering called The Story.〔Logan, Emily. "The Story Folk Festival." The Bay Bridged. February 11, 2008〕 With posters painted by Hilde and visual artist Arik Roper, The Story outlined a new school made up of folk singers and drone groups where "each performer adds a bit to a running narrative during their set".〔 The Story is still going on in New York. Another one happened in 2009. Yet another chapter occurred in Portland, 2010. The California series took place at The Stork Club in Oakland, and followed in the footsteps of Hilde's San Siern Holyoake & Wood Festival at The Hotel Utah in San Francisco, May 2007, touted as "A Holy Sunday Gathering of the Brightest in New Folk Music from the Length of California" 〔SFist. "When the Lights Go Down in the City." May 24, 2007〕 For Chapter XIII of The Story, Hilde organized the Arthurdesh festival to benefit the counterculture journal Arthur Magazine〔Time Out New York. Listings. February 26, 2009. Issue 700〕 at Market Hotel. A week later, he organized the first See-In.〔Naturalismo. "The First Poppy Seed See-In." March 6, 2009.〕 Michael Curtis Hilde first began writing and recording while living in the Big Sur redwoods.〔 His first official release (as Almaden) appeared in Finland on the forest-folk imprint, 267 Lattajjaa, bearing an album title of over fifty words ending in "Blessedhood"〔Lewis, Simon.
