Frog Holler

In Bozeman we’re lucky enough to have a truly dedicated independent radio station. It’s funky, free form… and the DJs play what they want to play, as it should be. It’s also a place to hear music that hasn’t hit the mainstream. KGLT is where I first heard Frog Holler, and I bought the “Idiots” CD off Record Cellar the next day.
Frog Holler is a bluegrass/country/rock type of band if you’re into categorizing, but they’re much more. If you love your hometown, if you’ve worked hard at a blue-collar job, if you really understand what “getting by” means… Frog Holler will speak to you. Darren Schlappich is a lead singer who can tell a real-person story with the best of them. The band is killer too. If you’re in to fishing, the song “Native Trout” is akin to the good times when fishing is at is purest.
Once you get into their music you’ll ask yourself how you haven’t heard of them before. They have 6 CDs of incredible tunes; they’ve been around with a small following for a while. If you’re in the northeast and get a chance to see a show, drop us a line and let us know what you think. Checkout their stuff (for free) here…
