Episode 45 - Hot Buttered Rum (Part 1) - Stories, Songs & Soul from the Road
Description
🥁🎻 We’re in Louisville, CO with bluegrass trailblazers Hot Buttered Rum, straight outta California and into our hearts (and vintage stores). In this episode, Nat and Eric drop by the dungeon—err, green room—for a raw, hilarious, and heartfelt session featuring stripped-down songs and a full-circle journey from biodiesel buses to brand new studio albums.
🎶 In This Episode:
- Live acoustic performances that’ll stop you in your scroll 🎵
- That time they powered a cross-country tour on tempura oil 🍤🚌
- Musical roots: from Strength in Numbers to Ghanaian drum circles
- The evolution from string band purity to drum-driven dynamism 🪘
- Their dream of a Nashville super session (someone call Jerry Douglas) ✨
- A sneak peek at their new album dropping this November 🔥
📧 Plus, they share why their email newsletter might just be the last non-soul-sucking form of social media. (Facts.)
🗺️ Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, this one's got laughs, lore, and a reminder that music is movement—both literal and cultural.
🎧 Listen now and catch them back in Colorado this August for RAPIDGRASS in Idaho Springs!
