Lady Hatchet Quartet
This powerhouse ska quartet is fronted by the fearless Kristin “Lady Hatchet” Forbes—a multi‑instrumentalist, bandleader, and veteran of the American ska scene (having led the Scotch Bonnet and played with The Slackers, The Toasters, The Players Band, and more). Backed by Jade Tremba (bass/vocals), Jenny Whiskey (sax/vocals), and Katherine Stock (drums/vocals), Lady Hatchet Quartet fuses rock‑and‑roll energy with moving harmonies and revolutionary attitude. Their live performances are a compact, high‑voltage crash course in ska redemption—with roots deep in the scene.
