The Holler and Shout

The Holler and Shout plays soul/blues-inflected rock; we hope you like it! We're a four-piece band, and we're four degrees of local to Triangle area of North Carolina, with members from Raleigh, Wake Forest, Siler City, and Chapel Hill. We've been playing together since October, 2016, and our influences range from Memphis soul, to southern rock, to proto-funk, and back again (and all sorts of places in between.) Dylan Branson sings for the Holler and Shout. He also performs as an acoustic solo act, and as part of the acoustic duo "Sunburst Finish." Brendon Bass plays guitar, and also plays guitar in Secretary Pool. Darrin Johnson has been playing drums since he was 11 years old. He didn't rush things though; he spent two years studying marching snare before he unleashed himself loose on a full trap kit at the ripe old age of 13 (and he hasn't looked back since.) Mencken Davidson quit the bass guitar about twenty years ago to have a career and family, but he fell off the wagon a year or so ago, and is now a proudly self-identifying "recidivist bassist."
