Cold Chocolate

Cold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses
folk, funk and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own. Led 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. “I see
this album as a leaping off point for many more new albums to come, and that’s an
exciting prospect,” adds Bernstein.

Punctuated 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.”
