First and foremost Tugalo Holler is a ministry. We consider it a privelage and honor to be able to spread joy and happiness and God's word through song. We are a bluegrass band and we enjoy playing gospel, old standards, new songs and some songs that we have "bluegrassified".
Tugalo Holler is based in Westminster, SC. If you don't know where that is, it is about 15 miles from Clemson University in Clemson, SC and about 15 miles from the Geogia State Line.
We played our first concert in May 2001. It was at Gap Hill Baptist in Six Mile, SC. Thanks to Jeremy and everyone at Gap Hill for giving us our "Big Break". Since then, the Lord has opened the door for us. We have played at churches, arts and crafts shows,weddings, parties, benefits and many other venues across upstate South Carolina, Northeast Georgia and Western North Carolina.
We would like to thank Wilson's Processing, the maker of Wilson's Famous Sausage, for sponsoring us. Without their help we wouldn't be able to continue traveling and playing bluegrass music.
We have seven members in our band. Chad James plays the banjo, Sarah James plays guitar and sings, Stephen Hudson plays the fiddle and sings, Jessica Hudson sings, Dennis James plays the mandolin, Harold Hudson plays the guitar, and Michael "Porkchop" Branch plays the bass.
We would be happy to come and be a part of your event. If you would like to contact us please visit our contact page and feel free to give us a "holler".
I got your CD the other day. I just wanted to tell Chad that he had come a long way on that banjo since I knew him. You all sound really good...love the music!
Enjoyed playing with ya'll at Tri County Tech. Look forward to seeing everyone at the Blueridge Electrical Co on Tuesday.
