All Genres > Pop > Folky Pop > RYEHOLLOW: RyeHollow

Where would we be without the chance meeting? Were it not for a chance meeting, three very talented musicians would not have created a sound that has garnered so much attention in such a short time.

RyeHollow is lead vocalist Breanna Paletta, guitarist Kevin O'Loughlin, and bassist Chris Chard. They met through "Deep Roots", a project at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, OR, which pairs high-school lyricists with local musicians. Their own version of pop is blended with alt-country, blues and rock to make RyeHollow's unique and emotive, stripped down music.

In the past year, RyeHollow's single "Where I Come From" was added to rotation on Portland's KINK FM and got airplay on 27 other radio stations across the US. They were featured on KINK's 8th annual compilation CD, KINK LIVE 8, and opened for Tori Amos at the KINK LIVE 8 show. They headlined several summer festivals and opened for Blue Merle, Johnny A, Dave Mason, Ringside and Collective Soul.

RyeHollow is one of the featured artists in UMPQUA Bank’s discover Local Music program. The Pacific Northwest’s largest community bank launched the unique program connecting customers with the region’s top artists. RyeHollow is one of the first bands whose album will be sold in UMPQUA’s stores.

The highly anticipated, first full length album, "Hearts Like These" will be released in the spring of 2006. KINK added RyeHollow’s new single “Any Way You Say It” two months before the CD release. This makes them the first unsigned band to have 2 adds to the mogul radio station’s regular rotation.

“I must say that “Any Way You Say It” is a hit song; RyeHollow has hit one out of the park with this song!”
-Dennis Constantine, Program Director KINK FM

“RyeHollow digs deeper than the typical folky girl pop that bombards the airwaves these days. With lyrics that are insightful and revealing, its pop that has found a way to be eloquent and concise, elegant and organic.”
- Tamara Turner, Editor CD Baby

It's the kind of music that energizes, the kind of writing that inspires and the kind of band that could've only happen by a chance meeting.
