Hot For Cold Chocolate
Cold Chocolate’s Ariel Bernstein and Ethan Robbins. Music perhaps more than any other art form, is so amorphous that it defies categorization. And yet there are those who try to put strict boundaries on it. Some seem genuinely upset when Dolly Parton is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

That’s where the sweet spot is. That’s at the root of Cold Chocolate, a self-described “genre-bending Americana band” featuring Ethan Robbins and Ariel Bernstein who will take to the stage at Wellfleet Preservation Hall this Friday night.
