Hatful of Rain

Local band Hatful Of Rain entertained with soulful lyrics, striking harmonies, and melodic bluegrass sounds. With a mixture of traditional folk tunes and stories, and poignant original pieces, their music was both tap-tapping fun and very moving. Each member of the four person band – three men and one woman – balanced the others beautifully, creating a rich, smooth, blended sound. While Chloe sang lead vocals on most songs, other band members took turns also, whilst the remaining three singing back-up melodies and harmonies, sometimes switching lead singer mid-song, resulted in a sound that was more than the sum of its parts.
