Hot Rize is approaching its 30th year in the bluegrass history book. After not performing for three years following the death of original member, flat-picking extraordinaire Charles Sawtelle, the band regrouped in 2002 with Bryan Sutton added on guitar. Hot Rize has done five years of shows with its current lineup and has been delivering its high-energy, soulful, and unique sound to fans old and new. Though many years from its full-time touring period of 1978-1990, Hot Rize has kept its legend growing by delivering first-class music and entertainment as only it can.
