Sicard Hollow is a four-piece progressive bluegrass band who formed with a mutual passion for pushing the boundaries of genre. Heavily influenced by the Grateful Dead and New Grass Revival, these young pickers bring new energy to a timeless style with a combination of fearless improvisation and instrumental prowess.
The band formed through mutual connections within the Nashville music scene who all wanted to play something different. They were all simultaneously discovering bluegrass while existing in their other scenes. Once they got together, the rest was history.
Having toured extensively around the country since 2018, this group of players continues to grow their sound with every performance. With the release of their upcoming sophomore studio effort, Brightest of Days, there is no slowing down for Sicard Hollow.
Today Glide is excited to offer an exclusive premiere of Brightest of Days in its entirety ahead of its official release on November 11th. Across the album’s eight tracks, we get taken on a musical journey that showcases the way this band marries sharp bluegrass chops with the kind of vocals and lyrics that feel more rooted in folk-punk. Fans of all of these genres will find plenty to love in this album, and in between the poignant lyricism is a healthy dose of bluegrass jamming that keeps the level of energy high throughout the album. Fans of acts like Billy Strings and Trampled By Turtles will find plenty to love in Sicard Hollow.
Band member Alex King describes the inspiration behind the album:
“‘Brightest of Days’ is a testament to the dedication we’ve been pouring into this band since the beginning. We put a lot more intention into exploring each of our own non-bluegrass roots with this one and we hope it delivers the message of positivity that we intended.“
