The newest addition to Hazel Holler is Stacy York on guitar and lead vocals. Stacy has her own CD out on Blue Circle Records. She has performed with Joe Isaacs and also with the Cumberland Highlanders for over 9 years, and is making time to sing with the Hazel girls, which couldn't make us happier!!
Karen Yates, our previous lead singer and guitarist, got married in April 2009 and is performing with her husband in Wiley Dew....watch for some special return appearances with the girls!
Hazel Holler's CD "Wild Girl Blues" got reviewed in the April issue of Bluegrass Unlimited! They said our harmonies stood out and that the album would "enhance (our) image!"
Hazel Holler has hit the silver screen (of your computer, that is!) - we recently were photographed, videotaped AND interviewed by the Savannah, GA morning paper at Mossy Oak Music Park.
They put the interview and part of our performance on their website!
THEN....when we recently played for the Americana Crossroads October show, they videotaped it and put part of the show on YouTube!
