The Hot Seats

Virginian livewires The Hot Seats have wowed the crowds at events such asCeltic Connections, Shetland Folk Festival, HebCeltFest and Edinburgh Fringe, where they picked up the biggest accolade possible – a Herald Angel. Regular visitors to the UK, the five-piece is recognised as one of the most entertaining touring American roots bands on the circuit. Their Appalachian-style mixed with bluegrass and a sprinkling of their own compositions has won them many fans. Their original material combines 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.
