Album Notes

One day in September, 1999, on the front porch of a house on Dark Hollow Road in East Tennessee, with a bucket and two sticks from the front yard, Gene Beffre sat down and banged out a beat as Randall Wilkerson played and sang his songs. Dark Hollow Band evolved from that simple moment.
In 2000, John Gillespie came along and sweetened the sound with his flute and squeezebox. Later that same year the inimitable Rod Erwin brought his ingeniously subtle, yet powerful bass into the mix. Next came Dave Patterson who would expand and warp the sound with his screaming electric guitar. One by one, as if by design, each member would appear and bring their own unique fingerprint to the mix. At one point they had up to eleven band members! The end result would be an eclectic mix of everything from gospel to folk to blues to country to screamin' rock n' roll.

Their fans call it "Folk & Roll." Whatever you call it -- Dark Hollow Band is -- soulful ballads, stirring melodies, and a truly unique sound that must be experienced to be appreciated!
