April 2008-Dark Hollow would like to thank Patty Blee and all those who came out to the gigs at Bogart's on March 21 and the Fuel
House on April 4. It was a high-energy night Bogart's as the trio performed standard tunes from its rep and used the show to debut a version of Patti
Smith's Dancing Barefoot. Lori Benton joined the group for Feelin. Alright and The Weight. At the Fuel House, the group backed Patty Blee on six songs
during her set with accompanist Ernie Trionfo. Ernie joined Dark Hollow for the last hour of its set, taking lead vocals on Memphis in the Meantime and
playing electric guitar throughout. The night concluded with a version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door with Patty, Ernie and the audience joining in on
vocals.
Speaking of Ernie, as a member of the Snake Brothers, he is featured on the band's new CD The Snake Brothers at Union Hall which is now available for purchase at Ernie's Guitar Repair/Music Central in Minotola and at Bogart's in Millville. The disc was recorded live in Down Township and features the exceptional vocalizing and playing for which the group is known. The first half of April has been a busy time for Dark Hollow's members. Joe played bass and accordion with Vintage Spruce Friday April 11 at Bennigans in Vineland and Friday April 18 at Babe's on the Minotola Delta. Jody performed with his band Adalante at Beans Coffee Shop in Woodstown Friday night April 11 and April 19 at a performance for the Philadelphia Society for Art, Literature and Music opening for Adalante (see Jody's website at http://www.jjodyjanetta.com/ for information on gigs).

November 2007-Those in attendance at Bogart's on Third Friday in October witnessed a variation from the advertised Dark Hollow show. Joe and Vince were joined by guitarist/vocalist Ralph Anastasio, who was already scheduled to sit in during one of the sets, as well as drummer/percussionist Jody Janetta.

June 2007-Check out the Dark Hollow My Space site by clicking on the link on the Home Page. The new webpage is not a replacement for the official site; instead it will act as a supplement to darkhollowjct.com by providing links to four selected tracks of Dark Hollow music you can listen to as well as information about gigs and some short video clips as they become available. The tracks will change periodically and will range from CD selections to unreleased live tracks and forthcoming releases (an early mix of Closer to the Wind from the upcoming Shadow of the Sun is currently one of the links) The official site will continue to house monthly news updates, the complete band biography, artist links, full-length videos, photo collections of performances and all the other good stuff up here. A Photo page is now under construction at this site and, when completed, will house new and archival photographs of the band in one location. Special thanks to John and Lindsay for the batch of photos and video clips from the recent Bogart's and Fortescue gigs. You'll be able to see their work once the photo page is complete. Dark Hollow will be playing Bogart's in Millville on July 27. The first of three sets will start at 7 p.m. The band has spent the last month working toward completing final mixes for Shadow of the Sun.
