Headliner the Joe Hott Band
Striding confidently onto the Nashville music scene, Joe Hott is poised to become a “must see/must hear” new face and voice for a broad scope of new listeners ready to discover that “all things old become new again.”
Joe is a unique blend of retro-bluegrass, traditional country, gospel music and Appalachian mountain music. This mixture makes the West Virginian Joe Hott a rare treasure on today’s music scene with his 6-foot, frame and handsome boyish resemblance to Hank Williams, Sr.
Joe’s signature train whistle and sound have been featured on the Grand Ole Opry multiple times and he’s won over industry reviewers throughout his career:
“Joe Hott can be likened to country artist Mo Pitney in that they both sing in a style that hovers over the line between retro-bluegrass, or Appalachian mountain music, and country music” – Bluegrass Today
“Joe Hott is a gem. Hott stands out as one of the most promising newcomers in the genre, and his future in bluegrass should be bright.” – Digital Journal
“West Virginia Rail has the feeling of first-generation, post-World War II bluegrass. Call it old-soul music. It goes to the heart of traditional bluegrass’ claim on our emotions. In other words, you don’t get to listen casually.” – Rambles.net
Joe has just wrapped up his next project for Nashville's 615 Hideaway Records label, due to release later this year. Be on the lookout for the singles as they become available worldwide!
