The Olive Sessions, Vol. 1

The band took advantage of one of its rare breaks from touring in order to record some of its newly-written tunes for this direct-to-digital EP. Engineered by Josh Osmond.

Live in the Northeast

The band hand-picked the selections on the album from their Fall 2006 Northeast Tour. The performances were professionally multi-tracked and later carefully mixed. The result is striking, presenting the unique energy and improvisational spirit of a Hot Buttered Rum live performance in studio-quality sound. This is the best representation of HBR on a disc.

Well-Oiled Machine

Produced by Mike Marshall, engineered by Dave Denison and Josh Osmond.

In These Parts

Recorded in the hills of Fairfax by veteran sound engineer Decibel Dave Dennison (Garcia/Grisman projects).

Live at the Freight and Salvage

Recorded live at Berkeley's premiere acoustic music venue on August 6, 2002.

Side Projects 

Nat Keefe Concert Carnival

In December 2006, guitarist Nat Keefe put together a multi-media variety show with musicians from the Mother Hips, ALO, New Monsoon, the Peter Rowan/Tony Rice Quartet, Everyone Orchestra, and HBR. These talented musicians mixed with film, circus arts, and West African dance to create a unique night of entertainment that was enjoyed by an enthusiastic full house.

Sound engineer Josh Osmond recorded the preformance and mixed it to studio-quality perfection. The CD features several notable collaborations, including "Brokedown" by Tim Bluhm/Nat Keefe.

Nat Keefe Concert Carnival 2

In December 2007, guitarist Nat Keefe put together a multi-media variety show with a start-studded cast of musicians, including Zach Gill (ALO/Jack Johnson), Jason Hann (String Cheese Incident), Patch (Heavyweight Dub Champion), Evie Ladin (Stairwell Sisters), Keith Terry (body percussionist from Crosspulse), Matt Butler (Everyone Orchestra), Rodney & Helen, the Sweet Snacks, Perry Sayoma Quarshie, and all the guys from Hot Buttered Rum.

Campfire Sing Along

Hot Buttered Rum joins Orange Sherbet around a virtual campfire to bring this collection of classic songs that will be instantly familiar to anyone who has roasted marshmallows and watched the flames dance in a fire pit. This collaboration creates rich layers of song and tradition, and it was truly a group effort. Campfire Sing-Along is steeped in the rich sounds of American Roots music, while managing to create a new sound for the campfire sing-along.
