HIGH ALTITUDE BLUE-GRASS !
"HOT BUTTERED RUM STRING BAND"
“With an array of influences that range from Stravinsky to Phish and from Django
Reinhardt to Bill Monroe it’s no wonder that you are likely to hear buttered-up
bluegrass versions of songs from George Michael’s "Faith" to Bob Marley’s "Small
Axe." The band has released an excellent live album, Live at the Freight and
Salvage, an impressive effort that melds past and present with stunning
instrumental and vocal virtuosity.”
– Mick Skidmore, Relix Magazine, June 2003
“The Hot Buttered Rum String Band is quickly establishing itself as one of the finest young bluegrass bands around. These excellent players are paired with an uncanny
ability to connect with the audience. In addition, their songwriting is thoughtful and
intriguing with something to say. I hope to see the HBRSB quickly become bluegrass's favorite son, raised in the folk tradition, and poised to carry the torch of tradition forward while keeping one ear focused on what's happening now.”
– Grant Landsbach, Concert Production Coordinator Swallow Hill Music Association, Denver, CO
“Though they are undoubtedly skilled instrumentalists, Hot Buttered Rum have a
rapport with the audience and one another that is their greatest strength. ...The
band’s rich and diverse musical background allows them to infuse a radical
newness into the genre.”
– Nancy Einhart, SF Bay Guardian, 12/24/01
“The name of the band couldn't be more apt. Few things rejuvenate the soul like a
warm fireside drink after an exhausting day in the snow. The Hot Buttered Rum
String Band has that effect. Their original songs are instantly familiar and inviting,
and their easygoing versions of timeless classics (the Beatles, Hank Williams) belie
the intricacy of the arrangements. Flute and clarinet set the band apart from the
recent surplus of old-timey bands, but so does the simple fact of the band's sheer,
infectious buoyancy.”
– James Sullivan, San Francisco Chronicle, 10/24/02
