Folk Club at The Blue Room Featuring | Under the Rocks, The Moving Hats

Under The Rocks
Under the Rocks is one of Canada’s premier emerging bluegrass acts. Tackling festival after festival and stage after stage, UTR has become known for having more fun on those stages than was previously thought possible! Featuring upright bass, acoustic guitar, fiddle and banjo/mandolin the band makes a big sound that tips its cap to traditional American bluegrass, while incorporating fiddle and singer-songwriter music intentionally put together with clever, progressive song arrangements and jaw-dropping instrumental breaks. Their show comes with a list of warnings: you might dance until your shoes catch fire, laugh until it hurts, cry your eyes out, or have your face melted right off!! This heartfelt, talented string quartet blends uplifting energy with a reflective reverence for the difficulties of reality that marries joy and sorrow and declares “YES”. Yes to all that it means to be alive on this planet, here and now.
The Moving Hats
The Moving Hats are a four piece group from Bellingham who do traditional tunes and songs from Ireland, Britain and North America. Fiddler Howie Meltzer, multi-instrumentalist Robin Elwood and guitarist Jesse Stanton originally came together for a St. Patrick’s day show in 2017. They added singer Beth London as a full time member in 2020 and have been doing the rounds of area pubs, festivals, sidewalks and weddings ever since!
