Holy Grove at Hoverfest

A band that loves to make music--hard, heavy, and with heart. The blues-infused HOLY GROVE has a lot of things working in its favor: a commanding, passionate singer grounded in the blues tradition of Grace Slick and Janis Joplin, a virtuosity guitarist who channels the sludgy NOLA riffs of Down and Crowbar, and a dynamic rhythm section that keeps your toes tapping and your head banging. It all equals a good time. Holy Grove was one of the openers for the first annual Hoverfest, held in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, August 23rd. It was perhaps the best festival of the summer for bringing together coveted acts like Acid King, Witch Mountain and Yob, with rising stars like Holy Grove and Wounded Giant. The fest was sponsored by Hovercraft Amplifiers, and organized by Cravedog, publicized by Southern Cross PR. Most of all, it was a celebration of music--the thing that brings us all together and makes our world brighter. The outdoor fest was well-attended, held in an alleyway the length of a city block.
Look for Holy Grove's debut album to drop sometime in fall '14. In the meanwhile, get to know their songs through this complete set, filmed by yours truly.
