| John Hollier & The Rêverie are thrilled to announce their highly anticipated new album, Rainmaker, scheduled to drop on March 20, 2026 (Thirty Tigers). Fans can get a taste of the album now with the release of the first two singles and accompanying videos for ‘Can’t Say No Tonight’ and ‘If She’s Lonely’, available for digital pre-order and streaming on all major platforms. Blending rock and roll, heartland grit, cinematic storytelling, and southern country soul, John Hollier’s music offers a unique sound that reflects on his upbringing on a crawfish farm in central Louisiana, while displaying a rare talent for connecting with others through tales of love and heartache. What started as a solo project for John soon evolved into a tight-knit band after the release of John’s first album Hollier (2023). Now after thousands of van miles and hundreds of feet of reel-to-reel tape in the studio, John is proud to launch John Hollier & The Rêverie — featuring his touring and studio band Teddy Thibedoux Jones (sax), Zachary Scott Kline (lead guitar), Ray Akers (bass), and Brian Cox (drums). Rainmaker reflects on two and half years of growth, as the band experimented with different producers including Ryan Hadlock and Matt Ross-Spang. “We set out to create a body of work that not only represents our musical journey but also resonates deeply with our audience,” John explains. The first single ‘If She’s Lonely’ captures the band’s raw live energy and hints at the explosive storytelling on their forthcoming album. “Zach and I wrote this in Charleston after a long run of shows,” John explains. “It surprised us all when this became the best-received song in our set.” This track showcases the band’s playful lyrical style while capturing a sense of longing and unfulfilled connection. The second single, ‘Can’t Say No Tonight’, co-written with Troy Verges, is described by John as a track that balances emotional depth with a building melodic refrain. “One of the band’s first stabs at 3-part harmony, we tracked this one in a live room at Layman Drug Co in two takes. The goal was to be dramatic in range but really get moving by the solo section. I can’t imagine doing it any other way,” he notes, reflecting on the effortless synergy during the writing process with Troy as well. To date, John and his band have been on the road opening for Red Clay Strays, Randy Rogers Band, The Cadillac Three, American Authors, and Flatland Cavalry, while also performing at New Orleans Jazz Fest (main stage), CMA Fest, and Americana Fest. With the impending album release in March, the band is planning to hit the road in Spring 2026 across the US & Europe. With a sound that nods to Springsteen, Texas red-dirt, and the bayou alike, John Hollier & The Rêverie are carving out a lane all their own — one foot in the swamp, the other charging ahead. |
