HOLLYY

Lauded as “the future of retro rock” (CLASH Mag), Chicago-based Hollyy masterfully imparts a sound both grounded in youth and transcendent of it. Since the band’s inception in March 2020, this group of self-proclaimed “garage-soul boys” has released a collection of breezy singles, EPs and now are ready to unleash their debut full-length album, The Weight of This Heart.

Flaunting a signature combination of stirring vocals, jazzy instrumentals, and indie rock stylings, its no surprise that Hollyy has been likened “to such modern soul powerhouses like St. Paul and the Broken Bones” (Atwood Magazine). Aside from headlining their own live shows, Hollyy has opened for several prominent artists, including Jacob Banks, Jalen Ngonda, Lady Wray and Gwen Stefani.

Hollyy features the talents of Tanner Dane (vocals/guitar), Peter Giere (keyboard), Rafe Soto (drums), and Dominic Zeier (bass), Blase Cermak (trumpet) & Nate France (saxophone). And as American Songwriter puts it, “even the sharpest nose won’t find anything manufactured about their talent. They’re the real deal.”
