Combining bluegrass and gospel, this band's harmonies and instrumentation have been compared to the Carters, John Jackson, and Ralph Stanley. Amy Nazarov provides high harmonies and lead vocals on many of the band's tunes. She lives on Capitol Hill. With her music degree, Belinda Hardesty has performed everything from medieval to jazz music on everything from recorder to bari sax to voice. She's performed with the Akron Symphony Chorus, the Hiram College Madrigal Singers, and numerous other groups. Jared Creason has played bass in everything from rock and country bar bands to semi-pro symphony orchestras. Caryn Fox has been singing since she was a small child. In high school, musicals were her love as she often performed in several shows a year. When Marcy Cochran decided to take up fiddling six years ago, she packed up her great grandfather's fiddle and headed fiddle camp in Nashville. Mike Clayburg studies guitar and learning the language of Maybelle Carter, Doc Watson, Norman Blake, John Hurt, and occasionally, Clarence White. Dead Men's Hollow was nominated for 2007 WAMMIE in the bluegrass category by the Washington Area Music Association.
