The Sugar Hollows is “some kind of rock band" from Richmond, VA. The band was formed in 2020 when Mike and Gabe became neighbors in an apartment complex during the nationwide lockdown and heard each other playing music through the walls one day. A few jam sessions here and there quickly became a number of cover gigs throughout Virginia and North Carolina. By 2022, they had recruited other members to join their journey and released band's first singles ‘Follow the River’ and 'Sweet Virginia Girl." Their debut self-titled album included 10 original songs and was released in 2023. 

After the release, which garnered some positive regional and national press, the band embarked on their maiden southeast tour with stops in every state from Georgia to Delaware including their first festival appearance at Richmond's inaugural Heartstrings Festival. 

The highly-anticipated follow up sophomore album ‘Radio Waves’ was released on May 31, 2024 and included another 10 songs that really begin to identify who The Sugar Hollows are and the direction they are heading. 

“Releasing an album as grand and scopic as The Sugar Hollows would be a triumph for any band. To do it as your debut collection of songs? Incredible. These ten songs point to a quartet of musicians who know where they come from musically and where they want to go in harmony. They possess the open heart to explore that path fully and the keen intellect to know when it’s okay to take a detour and maybe find something that can make their travels more memorable and enjoyable. It’s a trip we can’t wait to re-live with the band over and over again on this album that vividly depicts a restless musical heart and gives it the orientation it so desperately craves.”
