Hot Buttered Rum

While Hot Buttered Rum might be a bluegrass band, the five-piece fuses elements from folk, reggae and rock and roll into its music, setting it apart from the other bands in the genre. The result of this fusion is a progressive style of bluegrass that has won the band headlining spots at prominent venues and invitations to some of the country's most respected bluegrass festivals. Since forming in 2002, the San Francisco Bay Area band has shifted its lineup and developed its sound significantly, but continues to grow its bi-coastal fan base.
