Hot Pickin' Party is a bluegrass band comprised of guitarist Doug Perkins, bassist Mike Santosusso, and dobro player Adam Frehm. The trio first appeared on the Vermont music scene over 20 years ago as the core members of the popular newgrass jamband Smokin' Grass who released two critically acclaimed full length recordings, appeared on numerous cd complications, and toured nationally, performing in over 30 states.
After Smokin’ Grass disbanded, Doug, Mike and Adam each performed with various artists in Vermont and New England before reuniting to form Hot Pickin’ Party. The group’s music celebrates this reunion with heartfelt harmonies, dynamic musical interplay and a spirit of exploration of journeys old and new. At a Hot Pickin' Party performance you'll hear a mix of original songs, traditional bluegrass songs, familiar yet eclectic classic covers and the occasional completely improvised jam. A Hot Pickin' Party show is hot and cool, fun and funny, and always a party.
