Hallow Dog – Good Fight

Estimated read time 2 min read

Hallow Dog hails from the storied town of Woodstock, New York with a pastoral, acoustic-based Americana sound to match. The distinctive voice of lead vocalist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist John Holt is at the core of every tune and at first listen, one might draw comparisons to American jam and roots-rock acts like Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, Little Feat and the Grateful Dead. However, sonically speaking, additional elements like plentiful Pedal Steel, Mandolin, Fiddle, and Dobro place the material squarely in the old-time Americana tradition.
