‘n’ Roll band. Named after a Bob Dylan song (“The Ballad of
Hollis Brown”), the band was formed by Queens-natives and
songwriters Mike Montali (lead vocals/guitar) and Jonathan Bonilla
(lead guitar). Both 2nd-generation immigrants (Italian-American and
Puerto Rican-American, respectively), they soon found their musical
brethren across America, recruiting Andrew Zehnal (drums) from
Cleveland, and Adam Bock (keyboard/vocals) from St. Louis. Hollis
Brown’s latest single “Run Right To You” was released on 7”
vinyl in October 2016 on Velvet Elk/One Little Indian records. Their
song “Steady Ground” is a featured exclusive on Amazon’s
playlist Amazon Acoustics. The band’s vinyl EP, Cluster of Pearls
(Alive Naturalsound Records), was chosen as one of the 300 select
releases throughout the world for Record Store Day 2016. Pressed on
Starburst Vinyl, the record is limited to 800 copies and features four
previously unreleased tracks and two songs released on vinyl for the
first time. It was released digitally on iTunes in August 2016.
Cluster of Pearls follows up the 2015 release of Hollis Brown’s
third album 3 Shots (Jullian Records/RED), featuring the Bo Diddley
collaboration “Rain Dance,” and the duet “Highway 1” with
acclaimed alt-country songstress Nikki Lane. The independent act has
achieved a significant amount of success since their formation in
2009. They released their debut album Ride On The Train on Alive
Naturalsound in 2013 (produced by Adam Landry), garnering song and
video premieres from Rolling Stone, Paste, and American Songwriter,
along with music placements in the worldwide trailer for the Michael
Keaton film “The Founder,” the Willem Dafoe/Matt Dillon film
“Bad Country,” Direct TV’s “Kingdom”; Showtime’s
“Shameless,” MTV’s “Real World,” and an online ad campaign
for Abercrombie & Fitch. Following a Lou Reed tribute concert in NYC,
Alive Naturalsound asked the band to record a tribute to the Velvet
Underground’s classic album Loaded, as a limited-edition vinyl
release for Record Store Day 2014. Hollis Brown Gets Loaded took on a
life of its own, with airplay on influential radio stations, resulting
in a full CD & digital release. The band has toured extensively in
America and Europe, headlining and supporting such bands as The
Counting Crows, Citizen Cope, The Zombies, Jackie Greene, Heartless
Bastards, Rich Robinson of Black Crowes, and Jesse Malin, and building
an impressive fan base on both continents. Official Website | Facebook
