Indie Music Spotlight--Hot Buttered Rum

Indie Music Spotlight On:




Tune in Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 to hear Hot Buttered Rum live and in person on Blockhead Radio! Our very own Blockhead Rod will interview the band and of course play some of their awesome tunes!

But who is Hot Buttered Rum? Well besides having an EXCELLENT name, "Hot Buttered Rum, one of the hardest-working and fastest-rising acts in acoustic rock, began in the San Francisco Bay Area with a lineup full of uniquely talented singer-songwriter/instrumentalists setting out to create a new Northern California sound. The Bay Area claims credit for producing dozens of bands, from Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and Old and In the Way, to the Mother Hips, Green Day, Metallica, and beyond. From this fertile ground sprang Hot Buttered Rum’s own infectious blend of American styles—folk, rock, jazz, and newgrass—all informed by the landscape of their home."

Be sure to tune in and learn more about this fascinating band and listen in to their great music!

You can have a sneak peak at Hot Buttered Rum by visiting their sites:
