 THE HOLLANDS!

 

 

  Coming to

Sunday, March 8th!

during our regular 

Worship Service 

@ 10:00 a.m.

 

 

The Hollands! are a full-time Internationally touring family based in the US via Australia and frolic in the organic folk revival scene. They are seasoned concert performers, engaging audiences and rousing a sing-a long with their intimate merrymaking.

 

Jana Holland, originally a Michigander, has traveled between 3 continents, with an interest in songs of old and desire for the laymen to experience community through song. Her willingness to give any instrument "a go" has lead to offerings on the Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar. Jana's deep minor tones and angelic voice extend solace to all who listen. She sets the mood and embraces your mind with her poetic yet ground level lyrics.

 

Delicate and natural harmonies are added by daughter and gifted vocalist, Graciana Holland. This little darling is stunning and immediately evokes a desire to hear more. She is also accomplished on the Ukelele and Guitar. 

 

Craig, a native of Australia, began his music career playing punk rock, including a 7 year stint in Ballydowse, a Chicago-based Celtic Punk band recorded by famed indie producer, Steve Albini. Craig offers a hypnotic and unique sound to The Hollands! When Craig is playing the Taylor acoustic, the rhythms are almost Celtic by nature.


 
Named after the infamous Australia bush Poet, Banjo Patterson, the youngest Holland, "Banjo" is a force to reckoned with on the Cajon' and other percussion instruments. His inventive beats compliment Craig's mesmerizing rhythms.

  
By the end of their performance, audiences will feel like they are part of the band. This is the experience and magic that happens when The Hollands! come to town.

The Hollands! are members of the International Folk Alliance, Concerts in Your Home- USA, Australia and Europe.
