House of Jane Songwriter Sessions: LoneHollow, Mike Oberst, & Justine Cefalu

February's featured songwriters are LoneHollow, Mike Oberst, & Justine Cefalu.

LoneHollow, comprised of vocalist Rylie Bourne and guitarist Damon Atkins, bring a Southern rock-infused version of Americana while still remaining true to the tradition of country storytelling. Both members of LoneHollow grew up surrounded by music, which is part of the bond that brought them together after they each moved to Nashville (from Illinois and North Carolina) to attend a post-college intensive music business program called Segue 61. Their mutual respect for one another (and encouragement from teachers and peers) led to a musical partnership with influences ranging from Alison Krauss & Brent Cobb to the Allman Bros.

The two have spent the last 6 years honing their craft and hitting the road both together and separately with artists such as Gabe Lee & Sam Morrow. They recently returned from their first tour in the UK and have hopes to be on the road as much as possible in 2024. The duo has released two EP’s and three singles and are set to release a new song with fellow country artist, David Quinn, on November 10th.
