Dead Letter Office have dedicated themselves to faithfully reproducing the music and energy of a live R.E.M. show. Since 2014, Dead Letter Office has been thrilling audiences throughout the U.S. & Canada, providing a show that's been sorely missed since R.E.M called it quits.
Dead Letter Office not only performs R.E.M.'s major hits but also dives deep into their catalog to please the die-hard fans!
Dead Letter Office has also been joined onstage by members of R.E.M.!! Mike Mills joined them on stage in Buffalo, NY for Man on the Moon. Peter Buck joined them onstage at Clusterfest in San Francisco, CA (in front of 8000 people) for Sitting Still and So. Central Rain!
The members of Hurling Habaneros have deep roots in iconic bands of the Columbus music scene: John Hurlbut of The Swimmers and The Hurling Stones, and manager of the Fur Peace Ranch, plays guitar and handles vocals, with Mark Allen (bass) and Drew Racevskis (guitar) also contributing vocals. Blue Drew and Mark were founding members of Local Color, and The Mad Habaneros. Rockin’ Louis Schocken of Strangely Enough (and a healthy dose of other bands) provides the rhythms on cajon and percussion. Their eclectic mix of instrumentation and team chemistry make for unique, fascinating, and tasteful song interpretations.
Hurling Habaneros is an organic outgrowth of the genuine friendships and musical experiences its members have shared through the years. The band will be playing selections from John’s recent hit releases of Vols 1, 2, and 3 of “The River Flows” (recorded with Rock Hall of Fame inductee Jorma Kaukonen) as well as other old chestnuts and a sprinkling of original material as well. This one will bring the heat!

his brother's struggle with Autism and addiction is a deep-rooted catalyst that drives his passion and
career. Proceeds from his festival fund Rock Autism programs for individuals with Autism,
connecting them to a career in music and film.
