The Hollands! Open CCC Fall Humanities Series Week of Aug. 25th

The Hollands! Open CCC Fall Humanities Series Week of Aug. 25th

The fall humanities series at CCC will open the final week in August with The Hollands!, The Hollands! will share some of the most popular bush songs and the history behind those songs.

The Hollands! are a full-time internationally touring band based in the U.S. via Australia and the duo frolics in the organic folk revival scene. They are seasoned concert performers, engaging audiences and rousing a sing-along with their intimate merrymaking. Jana Holland, originally a Michigander, has traveled between three continents with an interest in songs of old and a desire for the laymen to experience community through song.

Her willingness to give any instrument "a go" has led to offerings on the mandolin, banjo and guitar. Jana's deep minor tones and angelic voice extend solace to all who listen. She sets the mood and embraces your mind with her poetic, yet ground-level lyrics.

Craig Holland, a native of Australia, began his music career playing punk rock, including a seven-year stint in Ballydowse, a Chicago-based Celtic Punk band recorded by famed indie producer, Steve Albini. Craig offers a hypnotic and unique sound to The Hollands! By the end of their performance, audiences will feel like they are part of the band. This is the experience and magic that happens when The Hollands! come to town.
