Album Notes

Nashville sidemen Kyle Kegerreis and Hans Holzen founded the HK band in fall 2002 as an outlet for their musical interests and backgrounds. These range from Americana to jazz to bluegrass. They have been performing since 2002 mainly in the Nashville area, usually with some of Music City's most talented musicians in the band. Their 2003 EP entitled "Songs You've Never Heard" features original compositions and a song by Kyle Addison and is available on CDBaby.com.
