Hollowbody Band Rock & Blues Concert!
The Pretoria based acoustic quartet Hollowbody makes bluesy original music drenched in pre-War folk, bluegrass and swamp rock influences.
Tomas Taljaard (guitar, harmonica, lead vox) and Dirk Jordaan (guitar, slide guitar) met when playing together in a nostalgia rock band. They wanted to delve deeper into Americana as well as perform their own songs and formed Hollowbody to that end.
“Wanna start a band?” soon changed to “Wanna join a band?” when they bumped into the local gigging veterans Stean van der Walt (double bass, vox) and Thinus Scheepers (drums) – aka The Groove Crew. They recently were the rhythm section for Vana and the Oh So Serious.
Hollowbody chalked up performances at four festivals within their first nine months and have opened locally for the Canadian blues journeyman Doc MacLean. They don’t just hammer out the tunes – you can expect to hear all the authentic fills and frills during their energetic sets.
If time allows, Hollowbody covers traditional songs of whom the names of their creators are lost in time, as well as tunes by Bob Dylan, The Band, Piet Botha and other greats.
Their originals are composed in the same vein – with thoughtful, modern lyrical content but the same honest, grounded feel.
