Backwards Hats

Art Patron

The story of Backwards Hats is a simple one: A family band, plus one (who’s become family) jamming on songs that make them happy. Jerry and Livi Arnold, along with Livi’s son, guitarist Chris Isaacs, have always played in the music room at home - Livi on vocals, Jerry on banjo and the three of them making beautiful harmonies. Add the most seasoned of bass players, McGregor ‘Mac' McGehee, and a good vibe was born of great music and the will to entertain while enjoying the ride.

After the band chose great songs that might be under (way under) a lot of peoples’ radar, recording at Club 39 with producer Bill Smith helped bring some musical things into focus - most importantly, crafting them into something wholly and beautifully Backwards Hats. The recordings are an amazing experience on their own - but come out to a show and hear songs you may already know in an entirely different way. Experience the joy of LIVE folk/rock/Americana music with people who love performing. Local event dates have grown exponentially, and so has the desire to put the music ‘out there’ for folks to watch, stream, buy, and download. Opportunities to experience the sights and sounds that are ‘The Hats’ abound on Soundcloud, Vimeo and on CDs.
