With a distinct sound uniting hook-soaked pop and blues-drenched rock-n-roll, Hollis Brown is a throwback to an era when music felt fresh, songwriting was revered, and performances routinely inspired. Possessing a steady supply of infectious melodies and a live show that has attracted a devoted following, Hollis Brown has distinguished itself as essential in the crowded musical landscape of New York City.
In early 2008, the band became the flagship signing for the burgeoning independent label Vibe Theory Music and quickly got to work on their debut, full-length album. Hollis Brown was fortunate enough to team with music producer Jamie Sigel on the project, known for his work behind the boards with Lauryn Hill on her Grammy-winning LP. What resulted is a diverse and exciting collection of well-crafted rock songs with pop sensibility. From radio-friendly hits like lead singles/music videos "Passin' Me By" and “Show Love" to southern-tinged grooves such as "Carolina, Carolina" and "Til the Morning", the album features quality songwriting and crisp performances throughout.
The record has been well-received since its September 2009 release, earning feature placement by both Amazon and Napster as a critic’s choice. CMT lauded the album, stating “Their well-crafted pop songs are rooted in the blues and feature pop hooks that sink in and don’t let go”.
Other accomplishments include showcasing in the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon, placements on the MTV show “College Life”, and performances/interviews on nationally syndicated television and radio programs. In Hollis Brown’s home market of New York City, they have played esteemed venues such as the Knitting Factory, Sullivan Hall, and CBGB's with an average paid attendance of 100+. The band is currently on tour in support of their first release. Influences include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
In these final days of the matrix we need some truth and knowledge So open your mind and heart with the 7th Sun and enjoy the music If your feelin it click to support and will allow me to continue spreading this sound. PEACE KNOWLEDGE UNITY THE AWAKENING
