SUMMARY:Ethan Robbins & Ariel Bernstein Offer Genre-bending Americana with Cold Chocolate
DESCRIPTION:WESTFORD\, MA: Cold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk\, funk and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own\, and they’re stopping by to the Parish Center for the Arts on December 12 at 7:30pm. Bring your snacks and beverages for this evening of jazz music and more. Tickets range from $20-$25. Cabaret seating. For information about this and all upcoming concerts at the PCA\, call (978) 692-6333 or visit pcawestford.org.\nLed by Ethan Robbins (vocals/guitar/mandolin) and Ariel Bernstein (vocals/percussion/banjo)\, the Boston-based duo released their fifth full-length album in the Fall of 2023. “We’re growing as a band\, and I think that shows in our songwriting\,” says Robbins. “This album was a leaping off point for many more new albums to come\, and that’s an exciting prospect\,” adds Bernstein. Cold Chocolate is currently on tour supporting their latest album\, “Now That’s What I Call Cold Chocolate\, vol. 1.” \nPunctuated by tight harmonies and skillful musicianship\, Cold Chocolate has quickly gained recognition for their original music and high-energy shows. The band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon\, David Grisman\, and Angelique Kidjo\, and regularly performs at venues and music festivals across the country. Jason Verlinde of The Fretboard Journal who covered the band’s FreshGrass Festival set noted “there were plenty of magical moments… I will never forget [watching] Cold Chocolate perform.” Kathy Sands-Boehmer of No Depression raved\, “[Ethan] feels the music in his heart and soul and it shows when he plays. Ethan becomes the music on stage. There’s an almost mystical connection between his guitar and the notes that flow out of it.”\nAs for the band’s intriguing name and the story behind it\, “it came from a childhood memory of mine\,” says Robbins. “When my brothers and I used to visit my Grandfather in Wilkes Barre (PA)\, the whole drive there from DC we’d be in the backseat talking about the frozen Milky Way bars that awaited us in his freezer. I still remember pulling into his driveway after a six-hour drive. He’d come out to meet us–arms wide open for a hug–and the three of us would shoot right past him\, headed straight for the freezer\, where awaited us the King Size Milky Way Bars. So\, in some ways\, I dedicate the band name to my Grandfather’s memory.” \nThe PCA Coffeehouse Series is generously sponsored by Rockland Trust.
