Lonesome Traveler will have to change their name soon to account for the horde of fans that are starting to follow them around. This is an acoustic band from Colorado’s front range with a bluegrass driver’s license, a certificate of songwriting, and a sheriff’s badge of cool. They possess the cracklin’ firepower of a six-piece band, yet the grace of a dancer as they weave in and around their condenser microphones, singing, picking, and testifying to the gospel of Americana music.
Together the band makes music that moves the old sounds forward. Their songs are squarely in the rich vein of Americana bluegrass, folk, blues, country and Celtic sounds, yet they bring in contemporary metaphors and reflections that are connecting with audiences and radio listeners all across our great nation. Taking second place in both Telluride and Rockygrass band contests, and playing over 150 shows a year since they started, the band is putting on the miles and getting out the smiles wherever they go.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
