Hot Buttered Rum, one of the
hardest-working and fastest-rising
acts in acoustic rock, began in the
San Francisco Bay Area with five
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.
Like so many great Bay Area bands
before them, Hot Buttered Rum makes
no separation between their music
and their activism. They
unapologetically undergird their
shows with songs about social
equality, environmental
responsibility, and political
change, and then back it up by
touring in a biofueled bus and
donating their time to service work
at schools, Native American
reservations, and political
fundraisers.
