The Bands
Hot Stove Cool Music has featured more than 250 musical acts since the first show in 2000. The talent has ranged from Grammy Award winners to bands that sell out the Paradise and Metro on their own, to up-and-coming stars. Incredibly, every artist donates their time and talent for our important causes! We’ve compiled the complete list of performers at HSCM since Day 1.
