LoneHollow Combines Gritty Guitars and Lonesome Vocals on Self-Titled EP

NEWS

NEW YORK — March 4, 2021 — Throughout the five songs on their upcoming self-titled EP, LoneHollow, comprised of vocalist Rylie Bourne and guitarist Damon Atkins, dive head-first into a complete portrait of love — the all-encompassing shiny feeling it can bring about as well as the actions it can make you regret. With a rollicking, Southern rock-infused version of Americana, the two remain true to the tradition of country storytelling. Wide Open Country premiered “Not Today” this morning, noting the duo “comes out swinging with the electrifying murder ballad.” The song will be released tomorrow, March 5, via Torrez Music Group, with the full EP out on April 9.

“The Southern gothic tale is a stellar introduction to the duo and their bluegrass, Southern rock and blues roots.”

– Wide Open Country

Recorded in Nashville at Farmland Studios with producers David Dorn and Alex Torrez, the self-titled EP showcases Atkins’s blues-infused guitar work along with Bourne’s crystal-clear vocals for a high-energy welcome to who LoneHollow is: Atkins brings a rock-n-roll edge, while Bourne’s traditionally lonesome vibe anchors their sound.
The EP kicks off with “Not Today,” an upbeat murder ballad of sorts, while “Slide Over” continues with a look at infatuation, their answer to the question, “What would Bonnie Raitt do?
”“I Don’t Love You Anymore” offers an opportunity for Bourne’s vocals to shine, a sepia-toned take on trying to move on. “Love Her,” a live favorite at shows, addresses what it feels like to be the other woman. “Lonesome and Alone” ties up the collection by showcasing their spot-on harmonies, tinges of Rylie’s bluegrass-laden upbringing weave throughout the arrangement.
Both members of LoneHollow grew up surrounded by music, which is part of the bond that brought them together after they each moved to Nashville. Bourne’s dad plays guitar and mandolin, one in a long line of musicians himself, and Atkins’s dad taught him to play guitar after receiving one as a Christmas gift. The two met after attending a post-college intensive music business program.
The two are looking forward to building on their past three years as a duo: “We have been here in town, we’re putting in the time and we hope that it shows,” Bourne says of LoneHollow. “This collection of songs just highlights every aspect of our sound, the new and improved version of who we are.”
