Q103 Interview With Guitarist Joe Hottinger of Halestorm

We recently had the chance to speak to guitarist Joe Hottinger of Halestorm. The band will be appearing at the Rock'n Derby festival this weekend. Check out the full interview below.

Halestorm formed out of Red Lion, Pennsylvania featuring lead singer and guitarist Lzzy Hale, her brother Arejay Hale on drums, Joe Hottinger on guitar, and Josh Smith on bass. The band's self -titled debut album was released on Atlantic Records in 2009. Their second album The Strange Case Of ... was released in 2012 and featured the single "Love Bites (So Do I) and the single earned the band a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance in 2013. They released their third album Into the Wild Life in 2015 and the band had their highest charting release. It peaked at No. 5 on the Billbaord 200 chart.

I got to see Halestorm for the first time last year when the band played the Palace in Albany.
