A Little Folk & Bluegrass with Cold Chocolate (Norwell)

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 sixth full-length album in the winter of 2026. “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 Cold Chocolate perform.” Kathy Sands-Boehmer of No Depression raved, “ feels the music in his heart and soul and it shows when he plays. Ethan becomes the music on stage. Limited free tickets available for anyone age 55 or older – call the James at 781-659-7100 to reserve!
