Who are… Hot Sauce?

Hot Sauce are one the coolest, hippest most laid back bands you’ll ever see.

There’s no setlist. No tightrope. This is a band that reads the room, and delivers accordingly; and has been delivering damned well since forming in 2021 (then as the aptly named “Hot Sauce Trio“).

Rich Gilroy’s Funky AF guitar work is flowing, as you’d expect from and funk guitarist, and John Timney’s drums and percussion are exemplary.

The unique sound of Hot Sauce is largely down to Adam Cornell on fretless bass, which definitely helps set this band apart.

Hot Sauce’s take on “The Stevies” (Wonder and Ray Vaughan), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hendrix et al are among the best you’ll ever hear, but it is in their live jams where they take the magic to the next level.

It is in these jams where keyboardist extraordinaire Dan “Crazy Fingers” Gray made the odd guest appearance, before joining the band officially as its fourth member in 2025.
