San Francisco sextet Hot Buttered Rum, true to its namesake beverage, cooks up rich, intoxicating songs that pack a lyrical punch.

Hot Buttered Rum returns with their signature blend of bluegrass, folk, and California grooves, delivering a night packed with rich harmonies, virtuosic picking, and the kind of energy that turns a spring night into a full-on celebration.

Their live shows move from high-octane jams to warm, reflective moments, all anchored by musicianship that has made them a favorite on festival and club stages across the country.
Songwriters Nat Keefe (guitar) and Erik Yates (banjo/dobro) and bassist Bryan Horne keep their kettle cranking with the help of keyboardist Jeff Coleman, drummer Lucas Carlton, and a rotating cast of mandolin and fiddle virtuosos. Together, they’ve carved out a unique space in American roots music, fusing the traditional with the unexpected—Stanley Brothers harmonies with a Wood Brothers groove.

Twenty-five years in, with sugar on its apron and rum on its breath, HBR still knows how to both turn a phrase and pack a dance floor.

It’s something worth seeing, hearing and tasting for yourself.

Lydia Cooley & the WoodPickers are a high-energy bluegrass band blending tight harmonies, driving rhythms, and the warm twang of traditional acoustic instruments. Fronted by Lydia’s clear, soulful vocals, the group brings together mandolin, guitar, and stand up bass to create a sound rooted in classic Appalachian bluegrass with a fresh, modern spirit. Whether playing foot-stomping barn burners or heartfelt ballads, Lydia & the WoodPickers deliver an authentic, down-home performance that keeps audiences tapping their boots and singing along.
