Rocky Votolato is a singer/songwriter from Seattle, WA that plays a blend of punk and folk. He just put out his eight record in fifteen years, Hospital Handshakes. It's a record encompassing a wide range of emotion and feeling, and a full arc of sound representing all of his best qualities. To illustrate those qualities, Rocky released a video for the title track "Hospital Handshakes." The video is directed by Sloane White and carries a variety of mixed medias to communicate feelings of loss and recovery. And puppets! Like who knew you'd be able to get so much out of the little guys. It's all a testament to Rocky's music, and the energy in which it takes to face fears and make situations better.Watch the video below, and pick up the record right here.Tour Dates (w/Dave hause):
