Sleepy Hollow: Home
Sleepy Hollow have sold thousands of copies of their EP and "Goin' Over" full-length CD worldwide since their inception in 1999. They are a tough group to label - delving in the realms of Acid Rock, Prog, and Metal, with passages more reminiscent of jazz or classical than rock music. The main lineup of Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Keyboards (with band members sharing vocal duties) is often augmented by instances of acoustic folky or classical instruments, such as flute. Their long-awaited album "Legend" - featuring an eclectic 2 hrs. of music - has been released July 2010, following a one-disc "heavy metal" version (featuring alternate mixes and non-album tracks) entitled "the Lazarus Project" out December 2008.
Guitarist Matt "the Mole" Schwarz performs solo at Renaissance Faires and elsewhere, playing traditional ballads and early music on harp, guitar, mandola, flute, recorder, etc. He has released a CD of acoustic folk songs (traditional and original) and one of solo harp instrumentals. He also performs and records with Sarabande (who combine Renaissance music with Irish jigs & reels and wild gypsy tunes) and as a somemes guest of Castle Musicale (a medieval/renaissance group), and plays harp in the Castle Rock Orchestra.

Sleepy Hollow continues to sell world wide without a live date or major label promotion. The Sleepy Hollow have sold constantly through the years and still continue through reguardless of tragity. The band is working their way back to the studio in Spring and plan on live dates as well, which will be announced. They have been teadiously awaiting the recovery of keyboardist Joe Dell. Matt Schwarz has worked on several projects in the mean time including a new harp cd and orchestra music. Matt "the Mole" is now back on his electric guitar rebuilding chops for the new album. On another note, the original 4 song EP will be remixed by legendary engineer Bob Both and remastered this year. Joe Dell, "We were never completely happy with the mix on the EP. We came in with a certain sound and it did not appear on the album. Adam was new at engineering and we were a fresh new band at the time. The studio held such legendary musicians such as Richie Blackmore and Joe Lynn Turner so we were excited about recording there. We find that Bob Both is a master engineer and will be able to recreate the sound we were originaly looking for. We will be remixing Goin' Over as well, hopefully this year. We do not want to concern ourselves to much with the older material seeing as we want to move foward with our next project. Oh, yeah, and we are going to remix a few tracks off of Legend as well, particualarly Come with me Melina, I have gotten to much flack for the vocals, they were never intended to be proper singing, they were meant to be a narrative ghost voice, so, we will be adding the proper effect onto the vocals as originally planned."
