Desert Hollow - OUTSIDE - FREE

Desert Hollow is where the open road meets the back porch. Blending the spirit of their roots in the California desert and West Virginia countryside, Maui-based traveling folk duo Xander Hitzig and Nicole Olney weave dusty harmonies, rootsy rhythms, and a touch of cosmic twang into songs that wander through heartache, hope, and the strange beauty of belonging everywhere and nowhere at once.

Whether busking for hundreds on the sidewalk outside of Hardly Strictly in San Francisco or playing their packed, at-home Thursday night residency, the Desert Hollow live show leaves an impact. Recently featured in Rolling Stone following their performance at Healing Appalachia, Desert Hollow is building anticipation for their upcoming full-length album, Music for the Folks, set for release in January 2026.

With the first few singles now out, the record promises their signature blend of heartfelt storytelling, rootsy instrumentation, and folk music—music for the folks.

Show is on Smiley's patio.
