SUMMARY:Cold Chocolate at the Quechee Balloon Festival!
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nCold Chocolate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre-Bending
  Americana | Big Stage — Friday at 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n 	\n 	\n\n\n\nCold Cho
 colate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk\, funk\, and blu
 egrass to create a sound all their own. Led by Ethan Robbins (vocals/guita
 r/mandolin) and Ariel Bernstein (vocals/percussion/banjo)\, the Boston-bas
 ed duo released their fifth full-length album in fall 2023.\nPunctuated by
  tight harmonies and skillful musicianship\, Cold Chocolate has quickly ga
 ined recognition for their original music and high-energy performances. Th
 ey’ve shared stages with artists like Leftover Salmon\, David Grisman\, 
 and Angelique Kidjo\, and are frequent performers at venues and music fest
 ivals across the country.\nPraise for Cold Chocolate:\n\n\n“There were p
 lenty of magical moments… I will never forget [watching] Cold Chocolate 
 perform.”— Jason Verlinde\, The Fretboard Journal\n\n\n“[Ethan] fee
 ls the music in his heart and soul and it shows when he plays. There’s a
 n almost mystical connection between his guitar and the notes that flow ou
 t of it.”— Kathy Sands-Boehmer\, No Depression\n\n\n“Cold Chocolate
  sounds softer than the dew on the mountainside\, harder than a Harley pus
 hing back red dust\, sweeter than true love.”— Simon Waxman\, The Bos
 ton Review\n\n\n“The band’s approach is decidedly modern\, with as muc
 h an influence from folk and swing as from hard-driving bluegrass.”— 
 John Lawless\, Bluegrass Today\n\nRobbins began his bluegrass journey at O
 berlin College and draws on a diverse musical background that includes cla
 ssical violin and rootsy guitar influences from the likes of Bob Dylan\, T
 he Band\, and John Hartford. Bernstein\, also classically trained\, brings
  a light and tasteful groove to the group’s sound and moonlights as a si
 deman for Ray LaMontagne. He also engineers and produces at his own Honey 
 Pot Studios.\nCold Chocolate is currently on tour supporting their newest 
 album\, Now That’s What I Call Cold Chocolate\, Vol. 1.\n\n\n\n\n
