The Hollands is a band lead by Jana and Craig Holland.
Driven by their personal need to be and feel connected to others, The Hollands! openly and honestly share their love journey, offering an emotional, intellectual and spiritual response to deeply moving issues. Weaving delicate lyrics wrapped in brawny rhythms, their message is both visionary and authentic.
Jana's vocals are delicate and beautiful, she sets the mood and embraces your mind with her poetic yet ground level lyrics. At times Jana's sound can be rustic when she combines the strumming of the banjo or mandolin, but the majority of her strings are shared with her acoustic guitar. Jana's performance is flawless and entrancing. Hollands deep minor tones and angelic voice offer solace to any who listen.
Craig, a native of Australia, began his music career playing punk, including a 7 year stint in Ballydowse, a Chicago-based World/Punk band recorded by famed indie producer, Steve Albini.
Craig offers the element of unique sound that pulls the music of The Hollands! in a different direction than traditional folk. When Craig is playing the Taylor acoustic, the rhythms are almost Celtic by nature. Craig brings his quietly powerful presence to the duo that is The Hollands!
