ABOUT SPANISH FOR HITCHHIKING
Spanish For Hitchhiking is an indie rock band from Western Massachusetts USA.
The band: Dennis Crommett (vocals and guitar), Dave Chalfant (guitar), Max Germer (bass), and Dave Hower (drums). The band’s third record WILD LOVE was released in 2021, at which time Northampton’s WRSI added the song “In Stereo” to their regular rotation.
"Spanish For Hitchhiking make indie rock the way the kids used to, pre-white-belt emo and Hello Kitty cute, with abraded minor-chord guitar accents underscoring singer/guitarist Dennis Crommett’s unpretty, rumpled-guy laments." - Jonathan Perry

SFH + FRANK BLACK
In 2012, SFH recorded a cover of “El Clavo Y La Cruz” with Black Francis (Pixies), for A Tribute To Repo Man. Black Francis also joined SFH at a show for two songs, and Crommett opened a few Black Francis solo shows in the Northeast.
PERFORMING AS OTHER BANDS FOR A GOOD CAUSE
SFH has often taken part in a yearly benefit concert event organized by the Northampton Arts Council. The event involves Northampton bands performing three songs each as a different band, based on a yearly theme. Here are a few highlights.
