"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...."
Charleston Post & Courier
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, Love Gone Awry, contains five 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.

“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
“Their unusual instrumentation certainly helps set them apart from the more
conventional rock and pop bands in town. Their sophisticated, wide-ranging sound and ambitious approach to original
compositions, cleverly reworked renditions, and expressive live performances might just set them ahead of the pack.”
- Charleston City Paper
“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.”
