The White Hat
Powered by frontman Ben Cocchiaro’s intelligent lyrics and expert fingerpicking, The White Hat plays roots music like it’s never been played before. Sometimes a solo act, other times playing with a rotating cast of musicians, every show is different, every blues and ballad re-imagined in real time. Described as “folk music in the voice of savage cool,” The White Hat is a folk remedy for your average blues getup, and this one’s not going down easy.
