For 22 years, The Hot Seats have gained and burnished the reputation as the carriers of an important and overlooked tradition of American and international folk music - social commentator, satirist, and entertainer. Homer and Jethro, The Skillet Likkers, The Hoosier Hot Shots, Harry Reser, Woodie Guthrie, Gus Cannon, Phil Ochs, Tommy Jarrell, Arthur Smith, Uncle Dave Macon, Frank Zappa – these are pools in which The Hot Seats swim.
