SUMMARY:The Pitt - Cold Chocolate
DESCRIPTION:Hot Plate Brewing Co. has teamed up with Pittsfield-based businesses and organizations including Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. to bring you a free outdoor summer music series in Dunham Mall. They’ll be a beer garden\, food vendors\, and awesome performers! \nCold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk\, funk\, and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own. Led by Ethan Robbins (vocals/guitar/mandolin) and Ariel Bernstein (vocals/percussion/banjo)\, the Boston-based duo released their fifth full-length album in the fall of 2023. \nPunctuated by tight harmonies and skillful musicianship\, Cold Chocolate has quickly gained recognition for their original music and high-energy shows. The band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon\, David Grisman\, and Angelique Kidjo\, and regularly performs at venues and music festivals across the country. Jason Verlinde of The Fretboard Journal\, who covered the band’s FreshGrass Festival set\, noted “there were plenty of magical moments…I will never forget [watching] Cold Chocolate perform.” Kathy Sands-Boehmer of No Depression raved\, “[Ethan] feels the music in his heart and soul and it shows when he plays. Ethan becomes the music on stage. There’s an almost mystical connection between his guitar and the notes that flow out of it.”
