The Holland Brothers
November 10, 2023 @ November 10, 2023 - November 10, 2023
Join us for an unforgettable evening of live music with the Holland Brothers on November 10 at 7 pm. Nestled in the intimate and friendly atmosphere of the basement Speakeasy in the Meadowlark Motel, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
The Holland Brothers are from the Piedmont region of NC. They play a style of music rooted in old-school country and country blues, with close harmonies and blues harmonica. Drawing inspiration from Charlie Poole to Charlie Patton, from Muddy Waters to the Memphis Jug Band, from the country gospel sounds of Flatt and Scruggs and the Louvin Brothers, from the high lonesome sound of Bill Monroe, or from the pairing of Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston, the Holland Brothers, together (as also in the 90’s rock band Jennyanykind) and individually have appeared in publications and events such as No Depression, North Carolina’s Our State magazine, the North Carolina State Fair, Billboard Magazine, as well as the NY Times, continue to garner praise and gain new fans daily.
They have recorded music for and appeared in HBO’s Righteous Gemstones and Apple TV+’s show Dickinson. Their music has also been used in films such as Desert Saints (2002) starring Kiefer Sutherland, The World Made Straight (2015), and The Legacy of the Whitetail Deer Hunter (2018).
Similar to the Piedmont songsters of old, the Holland Brothers play a variety of styles and songs. Their sound is rooted in old-time country and country blues with aspects of vaudeville, ragtime, and jazz that includes choice covers and inspired originals.
