Flow:DESERT HOLLOWS: 7PM
WOLFCHILD: 8:30PM
Tickets: $25
WOLFCHILD is a Seattle based Cinematic Folk Rock band with influences ranging from the immersive earthy sounds of Gregory Alan Isakov, Lord Huron, and The Paper Kites to the contemporary experimentation you might expect from Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, or Andrew Bird.
They have performed on stages such as The Troubadour, Mississippi Studios, “The Egg” (Albany, NY), Folklore (UK), and Java (Paris); at festivals like Imagine Music & Arts Festival, Oregon Country Faire, SXSW, Summer Meltdown, Seattle Folk Life, Capitol Hill Block Party, and many more.
At the heart of the project is Gabriel Wolfchild and his brother Elion TruthHeart.
Gabriel’s emotive lyricism, enchanting vocals, and unique guitar work quickly won over Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Christina Aguilera on NBC’s The Voice with his soulful rendition of Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright”, culminating in a national tour.
Elion is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist who effortlessly flows between drums and a variety of exotic string and woodwind accompaniment. He contributes to a rich vocal harmony that only brothers can create.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The name Desert Hollow is a definition for the geographical and artistic influences of this traveling duo. Xander Hitzig and Nicole Olney teamed up in love and music a few years back. Xander comes from the West Virginia countryside, and Nicole from the California desert. Now, they live in Maui, Hawaii. They play folk music, “music for the folks” as Xander so often puts it. Her lilting vocal seems to melt into the sturdy, eclectic musical beds of each tune. His voice is as deliberate as an old-school folkie singing with no amplification. When the two come together in harmony, it’s as if they have known each other all their lives. Desert Hollow performs both with a full band, for more of a main-stage festival feel, and also suitcase-sized duet for more of an intimate setting. The two sing mostly original tunes, uniquely captivating songs that are timely and relevant but also harken back to something old. Most folks leave a Desert Hollow show feeling uplifted, grounded, inspired, and maybe with an echo of a contagious West Virginian drawl.
