~HOT BUTTERED RUM BRINGS SHARP COMMENTARY AND POTENT CHEMISTRY TO A STAGE NEAR YOU ~
Which act uses the traditional instruments of bluegrass to express an entirely new sound, straddling the territories of blues, folk, jazz, and rock? What band has found itself spearheading the movement to ?green? the music industry? Which band's shows have become community-building events, where college kids dance hand-in-hand with baby-boomers nostalgic for the camaraderie and musicianship of the early Grateful Dead? Find the answer, and you'll become acquainted with one of the hardest-working and fastest-rising touring bands on the road today. The answer, of course, is HOT BUTTERED RUM.
The five talented young musicians who make up Hot Buttered Rum exhibit a free-wheeling, genre-bending improvisational ethos disciplined by their extensive technical training. You might say that their sound came from the mountains but moved to the city, without forgetting its high-altitude home. Call it Avant-Grass, or Mountain Americana with a funky, playful edge ? it only seems natural, considering that the players meticulously honed their chops on the mountaintops and city streets of their Northern California home before hitting the road.
The band's easy-going chemistry and friendly charisma draw an enthusiastic fan base, which is growing, fast. Playing nealy two-hundred gigs in 2006 alone, the band's dynamic live performances have created a stir all across the country. Show-stealing festival performances at a diverse series of events, including Bonnaroo, the Newport Folk Festival, Grey Fox, High Sierra and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, have only increased the rising clamor for Hot Buttered Rum's performances. The band has shared the stage with artists such as Phil Lesh, Bela Fleck, Ben Harper, Chris Thile, Mike Marshall and Peter Rowan, the last two of whom worked with the band on its most-recent, critically acclaimed studio release, Well-Oiled Machine.
But Hot Buttered Rum doesn't tour like other bands. Recognizing that each individual's actions have dramatic consequences on geo-political events and on the very health of the planet, the members of Hot Buttered Rum have chosen to hold themselves accountable to a stringent code of responsibility to the environment. Eschewing the gas-guzzling tour buses that transport most bands, Hot Buttered Rum travels in a converted passenger bus that runs on environmentally friendly vegetable oil and Biodiesel. The band has also partnered with green-minded businesses to erase the ecological footprint of their tours. Even their merchandise is produced from recycled materials. In 2006, Rock the Earth recognized the band's contributions to sustainability by nominating them for a ?Defender of the Earth? award, placing them alongside luminary leaders of the green music movement as Neil Young and Bonnie Raitt.
