Spencer Cullum, the Nashville-based musician is a renowned pedal steel player. Releaseing on the evergreen Full Time Hobby label, his music is a kaleidoscopic collection of folk, jazz, and pop, cut though with immaculately-rendered songwriting. Romford to Nashville is hardly the most well-trodden of paths,but for Spencer Cullum it was a way of getting to the essential heart of pedal steel, what was then and remains to this day his musical raison d'être. Growing up in the large East London town brought him early exposure to classic pub rock by way of his father such as Dr. Feelgood and Thin Lizzy, and farther-flung music by way of his mother, such as Talking Heads and Lou Reed. However, it was learning pedal steel from legendary English player B. J. Cole that set him on the path he still walks today. After touring with Nashville-based groups and hearing tales of "seasoned Nashville steel players", the young musician upped sticks and found a "nice little crowd of weirdos" in his chosen city.

Hollow Hand is Brighton-based songwriter and musician Max Kinghorn-Mills who is often joined by an array of friends and collaborators such as Tim Smith (Midlake, Harp), Spencer Cullum, Holly Macve, Ryan Pollie and Oliver Newton.

"Enchanting and melodic third from folk-rock voyager... Max Kinghorn-Mills casts quite a spell on his third Hollow Hand album" - Uncut 7/10
"Tapping a Zeitgeisty folk-horror vibe in the video for recent Byrdsian single Heaven Just Watched, and variously evoking everyone from Stealers Wheel to Jeff Lynne to Tom Petty, Hollow Hand is a shape-shifting beast." - Mojo, ****
