Quiet Hollers: Roots Music with Indie Swagger

Soundcheck | Nov 19, 2015

In Appalachia, a "holler" is a colloquialism for a valley or "hollow." So not only is the band name Quiet Hollers a fun oxymoron, it's also a sly shout-out to the band's roots in Kentucky. The group says it makes "weird, sad music for weirdos like you." But they named one of the standout songs from their new self-titled record "Aviator Shades," which might just mean they're going for something cool and even sexy. Find out what went into the making of their self-assured new tunes in this live set from the Soundcheck studio.
