December 3, 2011: From Mars Hollow to you –
Thank you for making 2011 a fantastic year! From the success of "World in Front of Me" (three production runs – wow!), to performing alongside all the great bands at RoSFest, to touring with Billy Sherwood and CIRCA:, and to all the new friends we've made this year – we thank you.
Here's looking forward to an even better 2012!
November 10, 2011: We're happy to announce Mars Hollow guitarist/vocalist John Baker is now an official Godin guitar endorsee – Godin is known the world over for their high-quality, exquisitely crafted electric and acoustic guitars and basses. A big part of "the Mars Hollow sound" is due to John and his lovely Godin LGXT and we're very excited about this partnership. Long live music and great luthiers!
October 25, 2011: A very Martian "thanks" to the fine crew (Doyle and Steve especially) at the lovely Marquee 15, Corona's hottest new rock and roll dinner club. Mars Hollow had a blast playing the brand-new start-of-the-art facility along with Temecula's hottest rock band Souljourners and classic rock progressive legends CIRCA: The place was packed, the food excellent, the bar efficient, the sound pristine, and easy access and parking. What more could you want? Mars Hollow hopes to play there again soon – Corona rocks!
