Monkee Hollow - Youth in Revolt

Michael (Mookie) Joseph Clouse, Evan Charles West, and Chad Richard Blashford - all multi-instrumentalists from Columbus, Ohio - are the young, innovative ears behind the reinvented 60s and 70s sounds of Monkee Hollow. In an age where the music industry thrives with made-up stars and their auto-tuned singing, Monkee Hollow strives to challenge this trend and take us back to an era when music was simply about playing great music.

Raw, fun, free-spirited unpredictable melodies fill their self-penned, six-song debut EP, First Act, and iconic influences inform their musical sensibilities.

When exactly was Monkee Hollow born? Was it when two-year old "Mookie" Clouse was rocked to sleep by the late Jeff Buckley singing him a bedtime lullaby? Or when a young Evan West picked up his first guitar and pretended to be Chuck Berry? Or was it when Chad Blashford, as a baby, was given his first set of drumsticks by his percussionist uncle? Whenever it was, it seems to them inevitable that this trio of young, talented, energetic singer/songwriters would find each other.
