About Me

Here is what the Seattle Weekly had to say: "A potpourri of all great bands we've loved before, each member brings his own unique sound and experience to the stage, formulating an utterly beautiful frenzy. The violinist is mesmerizing as he plays away with all the sound and fury of a regular rock star. And it doesn't hurt that the singer and songwriter is unassumingly gorgeous maybe the sweat oozing down our face at their last show wasn't just from dancing." ---Seattle Weekly

The best thing about Handful of Luvin' is the feeling of being a part of something special. You just know this band will go somewhere and you will be there to see it. No one can throw down like HOL. They bring an unparalleled energy to the local music scene and leave everyone wanting more. With the combination of rock, folk, and blues, Handful of Luvin' will surely make you dance all night.
