"Digging in deep with a disarming intensity that almost overwhelms the stages they play on. Catch them in a small venu while you still can!" - (Richard Rice, San Francisco Folk Fest). Buxter Hoot'n is an experience not be missed. They are an acoustically based band, but electric instruments and expansive musical excursions are equally important to what they do. The result is a gritty and eclectic form of rock 'n' roll that draws from a deep reverence for tradition and psychedelia.
Buxter Hoot'n's homegrown sound had its start in America's heartland in Indiana where brothers, Vince and Jimmy Dewald lived and played music before moving to San Francisco. Songwriter, Vince Dewald, has since put together an ever-growing catalogue of songs that is both poignant lyrically and stylistically diverse. Moving effortlessly through blues, rock, psychedelic and world sounds, Buxter Hoot'n has forged an original brand of music that is impossible to ignore.
Ben Andrews, lead guitarist and violinist, is one of the best young multi-instrumentalists in rock music and performs with that rare, fiery brilliance that can take over an audience at any moment. Drummer, Jeremy Shanok adds an element of spontaneity that often brings the band interplay to ecstatic heights. The recent addition of female vocalist Melissa Merrill adds a great depth to the music as she brings out the harmonies and adds some of her own songs to the mix showcasing her unique, soulful sound. Vince Dewald's passionate vocals and guitar work, along with Jimmy Dewald's explorative bass style, perfectly completes the soulful, musical-stew that is Buxer Hoot'n. Whether playing in large theaters, local stages, or on the street, Buxter Hoot'n's authentic originality is always at the forefront making them one of the most enjoyable musical experiences of today.
Thank You for adding me to your friends list. I enjoy your music and hope to hear more of it. I wish you the best and hope you have a great week and even better weekend.
I don't wanna seem like an ass, but can you change the show listing from "The Lonely Hearts" to "The Lonely H," no biggie, people make the mistake all the time.
Of course you were awesome at The Mystic! Thanks again for playing and closing the show. Just like last year, you were my favorite after Crooked Roads!! :) Cheers, TR
