Hollis Brown - Hero Section

HOLLIS BROWN

Rock and Roll from NYC

Hollis Brown is an American rock ’n’ roll band from Queens, New York, known for their raw energy,
heartfelt songwriting, and timeless sound that bridges classic rock traditions with modern edge. Named
after Bob Dylan’s song “The Ballad of Hollis Brown,” the band has earned a reputation for their soulful
blend of rock, blues, and Americana — equal parts gritty and melodic. Fronted by singer and guitarist
Mike Montali alongside guitarist Jonathan Bonilla, Hollis Brown channels the spirit of artists like Tom
Petty, The Rolling Stones, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, while crafting songs rooted in storytelling
and honesty. Their albums, including Ride On The Train, Ozone Park, and their acclaimed Velvet
Underground tribute Hollis Brown Gets Loaded has drawn praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and
Paste for their sharp hooks and cinematic style. Having toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe,
Hollis Brown has shared the stage with legendary acts such as Counting Crows, The Zombies, and
Citizen Cope. Their music has been featured in major films, TV shows, and advertising campaigns,
further showcasing their broad appeal and enduring sound. Whether on record or on stage, Hollis
Brown delivers the kind of rock ’n’ roll that feels both familiar and new — steeped in American roots yet
unafraid to push forward.
