At Bottlerocket Hurricane, we believe life is for living, and there's no reason to take anything too seriously. With genuine joy and passion, we pour our hearts into the music we create and the moments we share with each other and our audience. Our songs will make you laugh, touch your heart, and spark reflection—all while transporting you to places where your feet can't help but boogie. Whether we're on stage or in the studio, we bring a spirit of fun, authenticity, and connection to everything we do.
Our influences are as diverse as the music we create, ranging from ragtime and bebop to '70s country rock. We're inspired by icons like Harry Nilsson, the Grateful Dead, Gillian Welch, and Led Zeppelin—each leaving their mark on our sound. But more than that, we're driven by life itself: the lessons we learn, the love we share, and the stories that unfold all around us. The common thread that connects us is the ability to take those universal experiences and make them personal, telling relatable stories that resonate with everyone.
