Biography


Firmly rooted in southern rock, blues, and funk, the five members of Papa's Hat share a unique trait: They deeply love and believe in the music that they're making. Their live show is something to behold with intense musical sojurns and upbeat interplay in front of an audience that is so very rare in this day.

This is a band that is on the cusp of something larger than anyone might realize. You can hear it in their music and you can see it in their show.
