Nashville’s Next Big Thing: Jax Hollow

 

    Jax Hollow’s new album Sugar Lion (2027) is a powerhouse collection of self-expression, heroic riffs, intimate self-reflection, and tenacious rock ’n’ roll grit, with heart and swagger. Written across the globe and recorded with Music City’s top session players, this record boasts the cream of the crop from two dedicated years of relentless writing and performing. From tour bus bunks, and airport floors to 3 a.m. epiphanies, Jax has found her own unique voice as a writer, performer, and artist. Hollow’s songwriting, masterful guitar technique, soaring vocal melodies, and world-class showmanship are on full display on her third full-length record.

 

It’s no surprise that Rolling Stone France has compared Jax to “an early Sheryl Crow or Melissa Etheridge.” Even Etheridge herself expressed admiration, saying, “I want to be the one that discovered Jax Hollow!” This sentiment followed Jax’s unforgettable solo opening set at the iconic Ryman Auditorium, where she brought the audience to their feet with her spellbinding performance.er electrifying stage presence has been heralded as; “Hendrixian… with shades of Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen” by Guitar World Magazine. This praise is echoed by Anderson Guitar Works, who added her to their prestigious artist roster, alongside legends like Keith Richards and Bob Seger.
