This is the only Heatbox performance in the Hills this season. Don’t miss it! Get your tickets today!

From Minneapolis, MN the return of the one-man vocal looping oddity-Heatbox. With his combination of layering his beatboxing, raps, Bobby McFerrin influenced jazz/soul singing, mimicking of instruments, crazy sound effects and wild humor, this artist never ceases to amaze and captivate his audiences. Much like That1Guy, Heatbox is something to be seen to be believed. Heatbox will grace the stage Saturday evening before Natty Nation…
