Hailing from various parts of the country, Hot Lunch Bluegrass has chosen to make Denver CO the home for their distinct blend of traditional, contemporary and original bluegrass music.  Though the band members are fairly young, they try hard to preserve the time-honored, high-lonesome sound created by people like Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers.  Though their vocal harmonies may be rooted in tradition, their instrumental abilities are truly innovative.  They work hard and enjoy challenging themselves, always looking for inspiration both from within the bluegrass tradition as well as through jazz, classical and more.  Hot Lunch Bluegrass juxtaposes the sound of yesterday with today and incorporates this philosophy into a cohesive, hard-driving bluegrass style uniquely their own.  When you can hear these boys (and girl) a-callin’ you know their hearts and minds are set on bringing the sounds of the Appalachian hills to the city and beyond.
