HOTPANTS is a band from Richmond, Virginia. Their music uniquely blends rootsy rock and roll with the sweet sincerity of Americana, resulting in something that sounds familiar yet fresh. Founded by singer-songwriter Mackenzie Roark, HOTPANTS has spent the past four years making waves across the Mid-Atlantic, performing at Bristol Rhythm and Roots, Red Wing Roots Festival, and winning FloydFest’s 2024 “On-the-Rise” Competition. Described by RnR Magazine as “one of America’s finest and least formulaic Americana combos,” HOTPANTS is committed to the DIY spirit of self-producing and releasing real, heartfelt music, and delivering electrifying live shows in Virginia and beyond.
