Hot Rock Pilgrims

Event Information

Hot Rock Pilgrims are a powerhouse Old-time and Bluegrass supergroup, bringing together some of the most exciting young pickers in the UK & Ireland. Celebrated as one of the most dynamic live acts on the British acoustic scene, they deliver a thrilling blend of Bluegrass, Old-time, Folk, and Blues - driven by soaring vocal harmonies and dazzling instrumental dexterity honed around many a late night campfire.

The band features Irish flatpicking sensation Hubert Murray (guitar & vocals), clawhammer maestro Dan Edwards (banjo & vocals), Sam Rose (bass & vocals), Bruno Pichler (dobro), and Kieran Towers (fiddle). Together, they create a sound that’s raucous yet refined.

After a post-pandemic hiatus, Hot Rock Pilgrims return for a one-night-only performance - an unmissable celebration of roots music.
