Bio
Lindsay Holler sings and plays guitar. her voice moves onto the sidewalk through a cracked upstairs window on dusky afternoons. it smells you with its tongue, pensively considers, and strikes. In clubs and theatres - its the same. On some occasions it caresses; other times accuses. When amplified it can be seen on the air ... then we all drown. .. ..Holler lives in Charleston, South Carolina. She hails the South as home and has lived in New Orleans and New York; she studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The music's current state of evolution is supported by a little twang and a little late-night clarity. The new EP, Helltembre, contains six originals, each displaying Hollers succinct penwomanship, which treads the trammels of broken relations and lost love. With the addition of Nick Jenkins on drums, Sam Sfirri on piano and percussion, Bill Carson on guitar, and Ben Wells on bass, they have created a sound fusing americana with gritty textures and dark lyrics. ..Holler cites influences from the likes of Tom Waits, Gram Parsons, Nina Simone and Neil Young - preferring genre straddlers, categorical misfits and indefinables... ******************************* ****************************** ****************************** ...."It's Holler's voice, however, that's the reason you need to hear this--an instrument filled with ominous foreboding on "Forever Always", possessed with a brassy sassiness on "Onto Me," and a powerfully pained presence on "Keep Bleeding," Holler always sounds completely committed to what she's singing, and that passionate integrity can't help but drag the listener in." .. - No Depression, March 2010.... "Lindsay's vocal is very emotive whether hushed or full throttle this girl can command a song, with great support from The Western Polaroids - this six-pack collection of tracks gets the bands message across loud and clear and handles the job of showcasing their talents admirably whetting the appetite for more" .. - Beat Surrender, March 2010 ...."Whether handling stripped-to-the-bone, emotionally tender ballads or poetic orchestral-pop full of pomp and poetry, Lindsay Holler's Western Polaroids create an enormously attractive, melodious sound ... much of what works best on Helltembre, from the grandiose solo and choir-style singing and thumpy steadiness of opening song "Keep Bleeding" to the sparse melancholy of closing ballad "Bad Reputation." Elements of old-time gospel and country, carnival-blues, soul, and classic pop abound. Helltembre feels like a major step ahead. .. - Charleston City Paper, October 2009 ....“Featuring a retro, soul-filled voice and cotton field blues, Charleston’s own Lindsay Holler is a magnificent display of pain and pleasure. Holler is rare in her creativity and brave in her leadership … Holler is certainly worth one’s attention.”.. - Charleston Post & Courier.... “Lindsay Holler is a passionate performer and a classic country rock balladeer. Her songs were beautifully performed, showing wisdom and introspection through a soulful, strong and melodic voice.”.. - Southeast Performer Magazine.... ******************************* -

"there is something subtly raucous about Holler's voice. Her mixture of alt-country and blues weeps with sincere and painfully evocative vocals. The simple, hypotonic strumming of the guitar, the bass guitar's plucking style and clockwork drumming give Holler the space she needs to let her voice flutter through each wonderfully arranged song...."
