Happy Hollows

Art-rockers Happy Hollows were founded by two polar opposites. Free-spirited guitarist and Northern California native Sarah Negahdari initially met bassist Charlie Mahoney at a Los Angeles strip mall. Mahoney had just moved to Los Angeles from Washington, D.C. to begin work on a Ph.D. The two clicked as friends and the band began playing shows, quickly becoming a beloved staple of Los Angeles' underground music scene. Over the years, Negahdari has earned a reputation as a commanding front person, wowing audiences with her blistering guitar playing and charming them with her earnest, expressive, and emotive energy. Since the band's formation, Happy Hollows has toured across the United States, UK, Japan, and Canada while releasing three studio albums: Spells (2009), Amethyst (2013), and Concordia (2017).For its live performances, the group is rounded out by Belfast-born guitarist Scott Munro and drummer Glenn Fryatt.
