Led by the lyrical craftsmanship of singer, guitarist, and songwriter Clint Roberts, the distinctly Appalachian, old-time sound of Asheville’s Holler Choir combines haunting harmonies, stirring string compositions, and heart-wrenching ballads, yet hardly conforms to a stereotypical genre. Call it a confluence of old-time, Americana, and bluegrass, but, by its own exceptional design, the sound and atmosphere of Holler Choir are singular. 

Roberts’ wordcraft and explosive vocal range are met with the dulcet clawhammer banjo plucking of long-time collaborator Helena Rose and the sturdy timekeeping of upright bassist Norbert McGettigan. With a rotating cast of gifted musicians featured on Holler Choir’s recordings and in their electrifying live performances, it’s no wonder they became the band to watch in 2023. 

Preparing for the release of their debut full-length record, “Songs Before They Write Themselves,” with the Susto String Band Tour and festival features at Albino Skunk Fest, Shakori Hills Music Fest, and Fine 2Day Fest, Holler Choir moves into 2024 with an unwavering momentum to delight audiences throughout the southeast and beyond.
