Hi guys! This is the reason I flew to Hawaii, to shoot this video with the piano guys. We are only releasing it on the Piano guys channel so please go over and comment on the video and send them the hollensfamily love! I wouldn't have been able to make this video happen without your love and support. Please let me know what your thoughts are on the video! I absolutely adored working with TPG, they are one of my all-time favorite musical acts, I hope if you haven't listened to them before that you subscribe and check out the rest of their amazing work!!!

Song of Durin

I shot this video up at Silverlake (http://www.oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=151) 


I ended up reaching out to the original artist on this one and got her blessing, and she wants to work on something together!  How cool is that!?   So let me know which LOTR/Hobbit type song you might want us to do together.  Would be a lot of fun to work with her on it.  


As always and I have to keep telling you, this video wouldn't be able to be made without your support.  You are the funding these, you are the reason these are being made.  Love and appreciate you guys.   


Lots of awesome new songs coming, just finished a tune from how to train your dragon 2 which I'm excited about :)  Lots more on it's way!

Green Room Sessions: "Drawing Board" - Downstairs Live

last summer I included some footage from one of my all-time favorite venues in the country, Downstairs Live. it's basically one of the most elaborate house concerts you'll ever see. the hosts, Chuck and Heather have created an 85-seat venue in their basement and have opened their doors to some of the best singer songwriters of the past 15 years. I am honored to have become a member of this wonderful family having now played the room 4 separate times. 


I was running through my set list and was playing through some songs I hadn't played in awhile. "Drawing Board" was one of them. as I was looking up at the walls of the guest room, I thought I might put together a little video for you guys, showing you just how many incredible artists have played this amazing venue over the years. should be some rather familiar names in there for most of you. 


hope you dig it!

Battle Of The Voices - Niagara Falls, Canada

So, most of you know that I went up to Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada this summer to perform as part of a show called the "Battle Of The Voices." it was actually a ton of fun, albeit quite a bit of work. now, I figure since I'm always talking to you guys about what I do all the time and what life as an artist is like for me, I thought I might take the opportunity to let a couple other artists tell you what life after reality TV is like for them. I was able to pin down both Josh Logan and Bria Kelly to ask them some questions about their time on their respective shows and some of the things the realized along the way. turns out, Bria is and has been a TFDI fan for some time now. her realization of who was actually in TFDI is rather priceless. 


I hope you guys dig the insight they provide as well as the inadvertent hiatus from all things TL. your regularly scheduled program will resume soon enough.


Love you guys! thanks for tuning in...

A Life That's Good feat. Brooklyn & Bailey!

Hi guys!  I know most of you didn't request this or probably haven't heard of it before, but I heard this song on a show that Evynne and I call one of our guilty pleasures and it had such a nice message I just had to cover it.


I really hope while watching this brings you some joy, because it was such a feel good song and experience to work with these amazing girls and their family. 


Can't wait to hear what you think!

"Frame By Frame" (for reals!)

I know most of you saw the video from last month of me putting together my new song, "Frame By Frame". (if you haven't, do check it out when you can!) I realized though that the audio of that video was somewhat compromised in that the vocal was recorded while I was driving, the guitar was recorded in a hotel room and although I was able to piece them together, I felt maybe I should give you guys a clean version, start to finish, not just as a video but as an MP3 as well. I cracked out the old Blue Snowball mic and recorded this in the home office today. I've attached the MP3 for you guys to download as well. I really am fond of this tune and look forward to performing it live out on tour next month. 


please do share this link with others, continue to help spread the word about the Duty-Free Rock Star Extravaganza. I really do feel that the more folks tuning in, the merrier. 


thanks y'all!

Good for you by Selena Gomez

Yup. I did it.

I covered a Selena song!

AND I did it back to back with my Elastic Heart cover that I posted earlier this week. 2 covers in one week. KILLIN' IT!


What is happening!?! I guess it's a burst of creative energy, so I'm just rollin' with it! :)



This was a very spontaneous recording... I was working for a local commercial and got my makeup done in the morning. (um?  why am I so lucky? Get to have my makeup done for WORK!)

My work was finished by lunch and I thought - there's no way I'm letting this amazing makeup go to waste!


So I quickly went over some songs in the charts and remembered Good for You, which I thought was hypnotic and awesome. So it stuck with me, and away I went!

I practiced as much as possible until the sun started setting, and a friend of mine here in London was kind enough to allow me to use his beautiful patio.  I had about 568.3 seconds before the sun was going down! I recorded this in speed mode. Really didn't think I was gonna make it!  (That's why it's a tiny bit sloppy and sometimes no so in focus. :/// Sorry about that guys - I was rushed by the beautiful setting sun.)


Annnnnnyway.


I'm really happy with the result.

I opted for no guitar again - just vocal instrumentation, which I am really starting to dig.


Let me know your thoughts on sound, song choice, overall look of the video.



Thank you so much for your pledge in September!  


Allllll my love and hugs to you :)

Wendy S Herdman Hypnotic is right. :) You might apologize for it, but I think the slight roughness of the recording actually adds a beautifully intimate, gritty feel to the song. Very real. A more polished vocal presentation wouldn't, I think, have the same emotional reach. Love this. Thank you!

David Cabrera First impressions: you look great, the song goes really well with your voice, it's almost as it was written for you. I actually had not heard it before so I looked it up after I saw your video, and the video really complements it well. I really like the lighting, it brings out your face quite well, I'm glad you didn't waste the make up session :) Keep making great music!
