Handpicked Holler!

About Me

Handpicked Holler! is a Folkedelic quartet based in Northern Colorado. All four members of this band are multi-talented musicians, playing a diverse range of acoustic and electric instruments. Most commonly tuba, mandolin, guitar, and percussion. They seamlessly melt through the realms of newgrass, blues, melodramatic storytelling, Chuck Berry-style rock-n-roll, psychedelic disco, and cajun funk. "Handpicked Holler! is one of the, if not THE best up and coming band out there anywhere. An unbelievable stage full of talent with an extraordinarily unique original sound. This band has the rare ability to have the house captivated in a hear-a-pin-drop silence one minute, and in a frenzied wild dancing fever pitch the next!" –Bruce Darby, owner of The Rock Inn Mountain Tavern in Estes Park. In effect you'll feel the comfort of being snuggled up to a mountain and the excitement of navigating deep rocky canyons. You'll never know what the next moment will present, but if you tune in, you'll receive what you desire... Holler! ..

Welcome to the HandPicked Holler!

As musicians evolve, so does the music. HandPicked Holler! is getting it together, and making plans for a 3rd annual summer Oregon Holler! tour and some good studio sessions. Music samples to come.
