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.
