Hot Rize, one of the most respected and influential bands in bluegrass music, is pleased to announce the release of their aptly named new record Hot Rize's 40th Anniversary Bash, recorded live at Boulder Theatre in January of 2018. Hot Rize (Nick Forster, Pete Wernick, Tim O’Brien, and Bryan Sutton) were joined by longtime musical friends Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, and Sam Bush. “We wanted to have a party,” says Forster. “We wanted to have a full-out bash!” And now, celebrating the band’s 40 year together, fans worldwide are musically invited to the party, as the band selected 19 of the best of their three night stand for the new record.
