Hollie Sheard is an original artist from Yorkshire in the North of England. Her gentle, soulful songs have won over listeners from all over the UK and even as far as the USA, Australia, and Japan. Back in 2007, when her catalogue of soul and pop ballads became large enough to fill an album, she decided to take them out on the road with a brand new band that became known as Hollie Sheard & Friends. In the hands of a seasoned jazz pianist, a blues guitarist, a funk bassist and a rock drummer, Hollie's music took on an eclectic feel that still characterises it today.

Three years later the band has two albums under its belt and some good memories to look back on, including the recent album launch party for "By Hook Or By Crook" which was held at The Library Pub in Leeds in July. The next project is in the early planning stages and will probably take the form of an EP.

HOLLIEFACTS...
  • Hollie's music is a mixture of blues, pop, and soul

  • The new album's title (By Hook Or By Crook) came about because Hollie and the band were determined to do the album some way, somehow

  • Before she gave it all up for a life of music, Hollie was a librarian!
