“Here’s to Hoping”: The Hollering Pines’ Americana Tapestry
In ‘Here’s to Hoping,’ The Hollering Pines blossom in a garden of Americana splendor, their roots-rock firmly entrenched in the fertile soil of powerful collaborations and lush soundscapes. Marie Bradshaw does more than just sing; her voice, a beacon amidst misty mountains, weaves stories as confidently as it weaves through Kiki Jane Sieger’s celestial harmonies.
The album — this vibrant tapestry — is the band’s most ambitious canvas yet. M. Horton Smith and Dylan Schorer are craftsmen with six strings, plucking and sliding from note to note like dancers leaping across an audible skyline defined by Greg Leisz’s haunting pedal steel echoes.
But let’s not overlook the rhythmic heartbeat that gives this body life — the steady pulse provided by Marcus Bently on bass meshed with Jagoda’s drum work is nothing short of foundational scripture in this congregation of sound. And when Phil Madeira tiptoes across piano keys or summons ghosts with mellotron and organ flurries, magic happens.

Nine tracks stand before us like nine vibrant stars in a constellation; each burning brightly but painting part of a larger narrative about evolution — not only within sounds that hark back to dusty roads traveled by weary troubadours but also within ourselves as we gather round this auditory campfire forged by masters at their craft.
From its production helmed by the artists themselves alongside Daniel Young — a testament to self-assurance — to reimagined harmony structures sending chills down spines: ‘Here’s to Hoping’ isn’t just music — it’s an invitation into The Hollering Pines’ ever-expanding universe.
And what a glorious universe it is — where souls entangled in melody find solace under canopies woven from threads both new and old. Embrace these sonic sermons heart-first because here lies not just hope — but fulfillment.
