The Hot Seats play stringband music with simple intentions: to keep the role of traditional musician as entertainer and commentator alive and kicking. Homer and Jethro, The Skillet Likkers, George Formby, Harry Reser, Woodie Guthrie, Gus Cannon, Phil Ochs, Tommy Jarrell, Arthur Smith, Uncle Dave Macon, Frank Zappa – these are pools from which The Hot Seats draw. Their original music is simultaneously hard to classify and instantly identifiable, combining the virtuosic soloing and tightness of bluegrass, the band-driven rhythm of old time, the jerky bounce of ragtime, and the swagger of good old rock and roll. Add some eastern melodies, a few modernist ideals, and an uncanny feel for comic timing, and you begin to approach this sound. Fiddle, banjo, and joke workshops 6-7 free with ticket! Tickets: Online Store $10 Advance, $15 at Door. Keep an eye out for events at our favorite new venue. Barns of Rose Hill in Berryville Va. serves up music, art, and events with an eye on tradition every month! Shepherds Ford Productions is proud to be managing online sales for the Barns!
