Episode 76: Mackenzie Roark & The Hotpants

Mackenzie Roark and the Hotpants is an Americana rock band from Richmond, Virginia, known for energetic and engaging live shows that bridge the gap between Americana charm and rock 'n' roll grit. With a voice that carries the weight of lived experience and lyrics steeped in raw storytelling, Roark crafts songs that explore love, loss, resilience, and the search for meaning-all wrapped in the kind of gritty, roots-driven melodies that feel as timeless as they are urgent. Known for their powerhouse performances, the Hotpants round out Roark's dynamic songwriting with the fiery tones of fiddle, electric guitar riffs, funky basslines, and tight harmonies. Their album "Ghost of Rock and Roll" is due out June 6th, 2025.
