Type of Music - Band Description

Dead Men's Hollow draws its influences from bluegrass, country, blues, and gospel. The result is a unique sound -- tight three-part female harmony vocals backed by fiddle, upright bass, and guitar. The group's repertoire comprises a vast array of original and traditional music, encompassing the early centuries of America's musical history and modern tales of love and loss.

Band’s Story - History - Venues Played

Dead Men's Hollow began as an impromptu backyard pick n' sing in the summer of 2001. Several hundred shows later, the group is now a well-established regional band. Dead Men's Hollow performs at a wide range of venues, from churches, bars, and festivals to fine arts halls such as The Birchmere, Strathmore, State Theatre, and the Kennedy Center.

The group has recorded four commercially released CDs and has tracks on numerous compilation CDs, appeared on national television, received 14 Washington Area Music Association "Wammie" Award nominations, won five Wammie Awards—including Best Bluegrass Group and Bluegrass Album of the Year—and continues to be played on radio programs around the world.
