Hollis Brown Lyrics

Hollis Brown is an American Rock 'n Roll band. Named after Bob Dylan's song Ballad of Hollis Brown, the band has become noted for their songwriting.

Hollis Brown was founded by singer and guitarist Mike Montali and guitarist Jonathan Bonilla in New York in 2009. Friends since high school, they collaborated as songwriters before the band was formed. Their name was taken from Bob Dylan's "The Ballad of Hollis Brown," a song from his 1964 album The Times They Are a-Changin'. Bonilla later said the name was chosen because it sounded "very true to America, and because it comes from Bob Dylan, who’s the great American songwriter."

In addition to Counting Crows, Hollis Brown has toured with The Zombies, Citizen Cope, and Heartless Bastards. Their songs have been featured in the worldwide trailer for the Michael Keaton film “The Founder”, MTV’s The Real World, Showtime’s Shameless, DirecTV's "Kingdom", the 2014 film Bad Country, which starred Willem Dafoe and Matt Dillon and an online ad campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch. The band's cover of the Cream song "Spoonful" appeared on the Alive Naturalsound 20th anniversary compilation Rock & Roll Is A Beautiful Thing, released in conjunction with Record Store Day 2015.

In 2018, it was announced that the band had signed to Mascot Records, with a new album expected the following year. -Wikipedia
