Holy Boats

Kellie, Jesse and Emily, the three songwriting voices in Holy Boats all grew up in different areas of North Carolina. They met in their 20's, played in necessary and inevitable college bands, and found their way eventually to Austin, Texas. In the environment of house shows and potlucks their music talents and strong voices led them to create a project together where they would all write and sing. Their dark, rough-edged and gutsy yet strongly sung and poetically written pieces provide a worthy counterpoint to the polished-yet-mindless indie pop threatening to overwhelm the contemporary music scene in recent times. Though they are not a religious band by any sense of the term, their music is deeply spiritual and rooted in their backgrounds as well their hearts.
