2016
marks the 20th anniversary of the Squirrel Nut Zippers most
celebrated and commercially successful album Hot. Originally
released in the summer of 1996, Hot was the follow up to the
band’s critically acclaimed debut The Inevitable. By this time the
group had already established a substantial live following across the country
thanks to early support from NPR, college radio and non-commercial
stations. Hot wound up selling over 1.3 million copies.

are humbled and incredibly excited by the initial Zippers shows since the
re-launch last month,” band leader Jimbo Mathus commented. “The
experience is not to be missed! The band includes cutting edge talent

most things remain unchanged… An amazing experience for young and old.”
