The Hot Seats at Lossiemouth Town Hall
About the show
The Hot Seats have gained and burnished the reputation as the carriers of an important and overlooked tradition of American and international folk music – social commentator, satirist, and entertainer. The Skillet Lickers, The Hoosier Hot Shots, Woodie Guthrie, Gus Cannon, Uncle Dave Macon, Frank Zappa – these are pools in which The Hot Seats swim.
Featuring - The Hot Seats
This outstanding band from Richmond, Virginia, USA, was formerly known as Special Ed & The Shortbus. 'Sensational' (The Herald).
Regular visitors to the UK, the five-piece is recognised as one of the most entertaining touring American roots bands on the circuit. Their Appalachian-style mixed with bluegrass and a sprinkling of their own compositions has won them many fans. Their original material combines the virtuosic soloing and tightness of bluegrass, the band-driven rhythm of old time, the jerky bounce of ragtime, and the swagger of good old rock and roll.
