Hollis Brown is an American rock ’n’ roll band from Queens, New York, known for their raw energy,

heartfelt songwriting, and timeless sound that bridges classic rock traditions with modern edge. Named

Paste for their sharp hooks and cinematic style. Having toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe,

Hollis Brown has shared the stage with legendary acts such as Counting Crows, The Zombies, and

Citizen Cope. Their music has been featured in major films, TV shows, and advertising campaigns,

further showcasing their broad appeal and enduring sound. Whether on record or on stage, Hollis

Brown delivers the kind of rock ’n’ roll that feels both familiar and new — steeped in American roots yet

unafraid to push forward.
