Impact and Give Back: Hollard
Hollard isn’t just a band; it’s a brotherhood built on faith, family, and friendship. We are retired Navy and civilian engineers, and we’re also husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. Our journey began 12 years ago with two friends and a couple of acoustic guitars, driven by a shared passion for music and a dream of performing on stage. Over time, our group grew into a five-member band, Chris Holley, Steve Blackwell, Troy Calvert, Steve Ballard, and Will Bryan were welcomed talented musicians who quickly became part of our extended family
Our mission goes beyond making music; we aim to use our platform to raise awareness for those in need. Every performance is an opportunity to honor those who serve our country—past, present, and future—and to support organizations dedicated to making a difference. We donate all our tips equally to two causes close to our hearts: the USO and the Children’s Rescue Initiative (CRI). Through the generosity of our fans and community, we’ve raised more than ten thousand dollars collectively.
The impact of our work hits home when we see the difference these donations make. It’s not just about the money; it’s about bringing people together to support causes that matter. The support we receive from our fans, friends, and family is overwhelming and humbling. Without them, our mission wouldn’t be possible, and we are deeply grateful.
