Hands Off Cuba

Hands Off Cuba is an experimental music collective originating from Nashville, Tennessee. The project began in 2005 as a bedroom electronica endeavor by Scott Martin and Ryan Norris. Following the release of CoLab, a collaborative EP with the established band Lambchop, Hands Off Cuba evolved significantly.

After CoLab, both Martin and Norris became integral members of Lambchop. This connection led to Hands Off Cuba expanding its roster to include Lambchop stalwarts William Tyler and Jonathan Marx. The ensemble's lineup has continued to grow with the recent additions of Adam Bednarik and Matt Glassmeyer. This diverse instrumentation spans digital samplers, keyboards, guitars, woodwinds, and custom-built percussion, contributing to the band's unique sonic palette.
