Bad Bad Hats: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Bad Bad Hats

Bad Bad Hats is a Minneapolis-born rock/pop act that began in 2012, led by songwriter Kerry Alexander alongside Chris Hoge and Connor Davison. The name nods to a mischievous character from *Madeline*, a detail that tracks with the band’s occasional “for kids” framing without turning the music into novelty. In New York City they’ve brought their live set to rooms like Baby’s All Right, Night Club 101, and the Knitting Factory, often appearing on bills with artists such as Smut and Wendy Eisenberg. Their performances favor clean melodies and direct ensemble playing over spectacle.
