Berklee College of Music graduate Scott Bauer (guitar, vocals) created Hotdish after returning to Minneapolis to re-connect with the amazing and underrated Twin Cities music scene. The homecoming led to the discovery of drummer Ryan Cihlar (Willie Waldman Project), and McNally College of Music grad Eric Struve (bass, vocals). The raw power and energy of Cihlar’s drum-work and the cerebral yet funky bass lines created by Struve were a perfect counterpoint to Bauer’s melodic guitar. The band was born. The recent addition of keys whiz Brian Patterson (Loco Macheen, The Dewayn Brothers) gives the band a fresh new layer of color to their sonic palette.
