July 8: Hollyfelds


Once there was a grown man who lived in a closet. Well, it wasn’t a real closet. He only used the closet as a secret entrance to his underground lair of steam tunnels where he was able to pursue his interests no interruption from the outside world. This character from the 1980s film “Real Genius” sparked a Denver based band to name themselves after this memorable fictional man. His name was Hollyfeld... Lazlo Hollyfeld.

Lazlo’s Denver descendants, The Hollyfelds, a band whose formation came 20 years after the film in May of 2006 departed from the musical style of the 80’s film they took their name from and instead went for a more neo-traditional country sound. A sound tempered with a hefty dose of folk and Americana and just a touch of bluegrass, all anchored by solid pop hooks.

The Hollyfelds most recent album, Saratoga, is an amalgamation of country, folk and pop with just a touch of bluegrass to keep your toes tapping and your spirits soaring.

'The Hollyfelds' boisterous set at the Meadowlark on Saturday satisfied completely. . . mining a vein of traditional country-folk that invigorated the crowd. . . that helped the subterranean Meadowlark feel like a summery back porch.'
- The Denver Post
