Bubba Patrick and Darlene make clean, heartfelt Appalachian music shaped by faith, family, hard-won hope, and the belief that a person is never too old to begin again.
From the gazebo on a concrete patio in North Carolina, the Holler brings together country storytelling, bluegrass spirit, warm harmony, and a little good-natured porch humor.
“I’m not finished. I’m just getting started.”
Meet the Holler family
The storyteller and lead voice, with guitar and harmonica in hand. He is just asking questions—and singing about the road home.
The warm mountain harmony and steady heart of the Holler, bringing fiddle, tambourine, faith, and a woman’s point of view.
Trigger keeps the porch lively while Billy, River, Cooper, and the rest of the Holler family bring the music together.
