The Holler! Offering Something to Music Lovers of All Ages
by Charlie Sullivan Northern Colorado’s The Holler! is one of those bands you’re going to have to take a chance on. The crew has a powerful punchy Americana sound with no boundaries; heavy on bluegrass and folk with a little rock for flavor.

The Manager’s Corner September 2012
by Chris Daniels I’ve managed my own band since the 1980s, and despite the amazing change in technology, success in the music business is built around four tried and true elements: great music, really hard work and timing (often mistaken for luck).

Yes, when it is hot people get cranky, start thinking crazy thoughts, driving like morons, and of course leaving all the wrong […]
Dearly Brothers– A Local Lad Making it Happen in Nashville
by Charlie Sullivan A while back, I turned you on to the righteous sounds of Orange Free State (I still throw their CD in).
