The Hot Seats
A nostalgic bluegrass artist.
6 Things ABout The Hot Seats! 1. We like to play music, stringband music. We call it stringband music because it's just too difficult to try and get into whether it’s old time, bluegrass, ragtime, country, or general freakout music. 2. We have done so since 2002, mostly based out of Richmond, VA. 3. We’ve been to lots of places, including all throughout the USA, the UK, Ireland, and a little piece of Europe. Some of our festival highlights have been: Tønder, The Richmond Folk Festival, Red Wing Roots, Celtic Connections, The Shetland Folk Festival, The Orkney Folk Festival, South By Southwest, Floyd Fest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival, The Watermelon Park Festival, The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival, Didmarton Bluegrass Festival, Maverick Festival, HebCeltFest, Speyfest, Leicester Summer Sundae and multiple occasions at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (including a Herald Angel Award in 2006). 4. We have recorded 13 albums of various lengths and media. Our most recent is The Hot Seats Present: Travis Randy – Smooth As Silk. You can listen to it here: https://thehotseats.bandcamp.com/album/the-hot-seats-present-travis-randy-smooth-as-silk 5. We like to: play fast, be funny, spasm, herk and jerk, eat exotic and frightening things, and ride in a van. 6. We are Jake, Josh, and Ben; with help from Rudy, JM, and Charles
