Desert Hollow
Desert
Hollow is the special place where the open road meets the back porch. Blending
the spirit of their roots in the California desert and West Virginia
countryside, the magnetic traveling folk duo Xander Hitzig and Nicole Olney
weave dusty harmonies, rootsy rhythms, and a touch of cosmic twang into songs
that wander through heartache, hope, and the strange beauty of belonging
everywhere and nowhere at once. Whether busking on the sidewalk for hundreds
outside of Hardly Strictly in San Francisco, or playing their at-home packed
Thursday night residency in Maui, the Desert Hollow live show leaves an
undeniable impact. Their new warmly received 2026 record, Music for the
Folks, delivers their unique blend of heartfelt storytelling, rootsy
instrumentation, a few background vocal harmonies by Lukas Nelson, and folk
music -music for the folks.
