A bluegrass band from San Francisco, California
https://www.hotbutteredrum.net
Hot Buttered Rum is a souped-up, left-coast string band and the brainchild of uniquely gifted musicians who weave their love of bluegrass, folk, jazz and soul into a riveting strain of Americana. 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.
“Stunning instrumental and vocal virtuosity.” - Relix Magazine
“It’s that working man regimen that ensures their consistency from one offering to another. That’s the kind of quality that makes Hot Buttered Rum always seem to go down so smoothly." – Bluegrass Today

Live Music with The Wonderfool and Tall Heights
UPDATE!! SOLD OUT!!
DOORS AT 6PM // SHOW AT 7PM
TICKETS $25 ADVANCE // $30 DAY OF
The Wonderfool - the recording project of singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Matt Vinson (of Caamp) - is a soundtrack for early mornings and late nights. Dreamt into existence by an Ohio native who's spent the better part of a decade onstage, on the road, and in the recording studio, it's indie-folk music to bookend your day.
Boston’s Tall Heights thinks the sound of togetherness is profound right now. Childhood friends Paul Wright and Tim Harrington (cello/guitar harmony duo), once street performed 100 days straight to fund their earliest recordings. In the time since, Tall Heights has released 3 studio albums to critical acclaim and major streaming success (400 million streams to date). They appeared on Conan O'Brien, CBS This Morning, and their songs have been featured on Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, and many more. Most recently, after opening a tour for Ben Folds, Folds invited Tall Heights to stay on the road with him as his backing band. After a few momentous tours as such, Folds invited them to Nashville in 2022. There they apprenticed under a master, helping Ben Folds write and record his new album, ‘What Matters Most’ (New West, 2023). On the back of such years honing their craft on the road and in the studio, Tall Heights enters 2024 with their 4th studio LP in hand. The album, to be released this fall, debuts an ambitious living snapshot of 1 week in anopen room in western Massachusetts. It is the sound of an old and deep friendship breathing together in a place in time.

The Barrel Room Sessions: Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light
Fresh off a first place win at the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival band competition, Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light have been captivating audiences throughout the northeast. With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice, Sumner's lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass).
Sumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit, singing and writing with the genre-bending roots group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own, Sumner's songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song "Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);" earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim.

The Barrel Room Sessions: Elise Leavy
The Barrel Room Sessions: Where Craftsmanship, Culture, and Community Converge
At Maine Craft Distilling, our journey began with a passion for blending craftsmanship and culture within our community. Our mission is simple: to craft exceptional beverages and provide a vibrant and enjoyable space for everyone to savor them.
Music, we discovered, is the soulful thread that weaves a culture and its community together. In our pursuit of creating a unique space for savoring fine spirits with friends, we recognized that music was an essential ingredient. Over the years, we've nurtured a thriving stage in Portland, inviting incredibly talented musicians from near and far to grace it. We firmly believe that "Music is Love," and we're excited to share our musical experiences with all the wonderful people we're fortunate to meet
As our journey continues and our community grows, we've uncovered exciting opportunities to bring music even closer to Portland's heart and soul—introducing The Barrel Room! Nestled within Maine Craft Distilling, this intimate space accommodates 45 music enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled atmosphere for showcasing the remarkable talents we cherish.
With limited tickets available, our focus remains firmly on the musicians and the enchanting sounds they create. Don't miss this rare chance to experience music in an entirely new dimension. Stay tuned for updates as we unveil our schedule for the upcoming year. We eagerly anticipate sharing this musical journey with you soon!
Raised on the central coast of California and currently living in Lafayette, LA, Elise Leavy has a distinctly unique voice as a singer and songwriter. Often likened to Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, Elise says it must be the California seawater getting inside her head and heart from an early age. She has been writing songs since she was 8 years old, and has studied the art of singing and harmony for the better part of her 25 years. After graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music, and living in New York, and then Nashville, she is now thrilled to be touring her first big record, titled 'A Little Longer', recorded in Brooklyn, NY with a full band.
