high octane performance combines an upbeat blend of original and cover material
spanning the gamut from the Grateful Dead to the Neil Diamond. The alt-country
sound was labeled an "Austin-sounding band" by San Francisco locals,
where JelloHat has packed crowds at the <a href="http://www.hotelutahsaloon.com/" target="_blank">Hotel
Utah</a>, <a href="http://www.themaddoginthefog.com" target="_blank">Mad Dog
in the Fog</a>, and <a href="http://www.sweetwatersaloon.com" target="_blank">Sweetwater
Saloon</a> in Mill Valley. Often dubbed "electric horse funk," <b>JelloHat</b>
delivers twangy, blues-drenched, funk-infused rockin' American music.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>JelloHat</b>'s Tahoe
shows earlier this year earned the attention of the Tahoe/Reno local press.
Fans from as far away as San Francisco and Reno packed the sunny deck of <a href="http://www.alpinemeadows.com/" target="_blank">Alpine
Meadows</a> Ski Resort for two days of energetic tunes spanning funk, R&B,
country, folk and of course, good ol' rock'n'roll. Described as a "…loose,
twangy rock sound underpinned with a funky groove," (Reno Gazette-Journal),
<b>JelloHat</b> has since been invited to perform at the "Salty" Gebardt
Amphitheater in Truckee Regional Park. This outdoor Summer Music Series typically
draws about 1,100 people per show, and attracts such well-known talent as Vinyl,
Larry Yates & the Blues Monsters, Jeff Pershing Band and Kim Lubelle and
the LeBelle Boys. JelloHat has also been selected to participate in the University
of Nevada Reno music series "Sounds of the City" in October. </font></p>

have been making music together for over 10 years, and JC Reed is also featured
on the band's debut album Cocktails? (North Shore-Truckee Action declared that
Reed's driving solos "…may make this band worth seeing all by himself.")
The result is a high energy live performance featuring tight, well-honed numbers
and great music liberally peppered with twangy guitar licks, exuberant saxophone
solos, and wah-wah slide guitar riffs for a funked-up cross between Dire Straits
and Stevie Ray Vaughn.</font></p>
