What started as a relationship transformed into something much more for the new indie band, Happy, Hollow. Happy, Hollow is the epitome of an alternative rock group with a fresh sound.

A year and some change ago, Jordan Raines and Virgina Haladyna began dating. Both active musicians, the couple experimented with co-writing songs, resulting in the tune “Sweet Surprise”. With an abundance of positive feedback from friends and family, the duo quickly began an extensive search for bandmates to tag along in their musical enterprise. Tapping into the sounds of a few local bassists and drummers, the group founded their missing pieces: Will Howell (Drums) and Rodrigo Cortes (Bass).
