Cold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk, funk, and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own. Featuring Ethan Robbins on guitar, Ariel Bernstein on percussion, and backed by some of the root’s music scene’s finest players, this group from Boston is impressing audiences throughout New England and beyond. Punctuated by tight harmonies and skillful musicianship, and with a focus on songwriting, Cold Chocolate has quickly gained recognition for their original music and high-energy shows. The band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon and David Grisman, and regularly performs at venues and music festivals up and down the East Coast.

Evan Haines is a multifaceted guitar player based in the northeast. Since he was 10 years old, his unique approach to playing and composing has led him to many fantastic places performing in venues around the country as well as recording in studios in Nashville and New York. Evan has performed with Sarah McLachlan, Sir James Galway, John Popper, Lisa Fischer, Matthew Morrison, Loreena McKennitt, Hayley Westenra, Pete Kilpatrick, Lexi James, Tim Janis, Chuck Winfield, and many others. Currently focused on his solo works, he is constantly evolving and developing his craft, exploring new sounds and textures in his home studio. His latest release, recorded in Portland, Maine, explores the world of western film music and, using traditional instrumentation, weaves a tapestry of cinematic beauty that will leave you feeling transported.
