String bass and five-alarm fiddle merge with guitar, banjo, mandolin, drums and keyboards to frame the voices of its two contrasting writers, fueling a dance party with roots in Appalachia and its branches in California. It's a sound that's as tough to describe as it is easy to love. Twenty years into its journey, HBR's music, dreamed up in the backcountry of the High Sierra and the basements of San Francisco, has found its way into the hearts, minds and bodies of fans nationwide. The band continues to tour year-round in support of its many albums and social causes. Don't miss the chance to see them soon!   https://www.facebook.com/hotbutteredrum  https://www.instagram.com/hot.buttered.rum.band  https://soundcloud.com/hotbutteredrum  https://open.spotify.com/artist/1g3ZifJpzuFjmLgq4smNOq? si=R0GxrX4LRWSEML6GbIhZ9Q&nd=1
