John Hollier & the Rêverie

This week we’re honored to spend time with John Hollier and his band The Rêverie.

First – it’s pronounced “oh – lee – yea”. Second – getchoself ready for a French-Cajun blend of rock-n-roll, heartland grit, and cinematic storytelling with one foot in the swamp and the other charging ahead.

We’ll spend time hearing about how John grew up on the crawfish farms in central Louisiana, learning music from his family, but not until he learned enough on his own. Then traveling to Nashville to continue his learning, but ultimately to unleash his natural, raw talent on the world.

And as much has you’re going to love his recorded music, you’ll have to catch a live show to see the genuine article as that is where they truly shine, in a wonderfully filthy way.

We’ll also hear from members of the band on how they all came together and some memorable moments from tour and recording their album “Rainmaker” that just came out.

Guest co-host Jeff Wentz, who introduced me to this band and made them my next fav, recounts when he saw them perform and lead guitarist Zachary Scott Cline esq ripped a solo in a bathtub – you’ll have to tune in to hear the full story!

Sounds like John will perform live acoustic on the show, and we’ll share a bunch of tracks as well. Don’t miss it!
