Hollister Thompson Band

The Hollister Thompson Band has been entertaining Western Connecticut since 2001. 

With diverse backgrounds and influences, each member brings a different nuance to their overall sound.  This is made obvious in the range of genres that make up their set list.  HTB has performed from the New Haven area to the Naugatuck Valley and into Greater Danbury and Norwalk in local favorite haunts such as JC Hooks, The Brewhouse, The Windmill, 100 Church Hill, Rider’s Cafe and Danny O’s as well as social clubs, benefits and private parties.  They have a following that continues to grow and loyal fans are NOT afraid to travel! 

Lisa started playing guitar and singing when she was 14.  Influences come from bands like Violent Femmes, Pretenders, L7 and Concrete Blonde, Lucinda Williams and Aimee Mann. Past bands include The Sundogs, Bad Cervix (an original band - playing punk style rock) and Gone Bad (acoustic/oldies). 

Being the lead guitarist and resident head-banger of HTB is just the latest chapter in J.J.'s musical career. Early bands include Raven Supper and The Hollow, who shared the stage with national acts such as The Ramones, Madame X and Red Alert. His influences range from punk and metal to Chuck Berry and Stevie Ray Vaughan. 

Besides playing bass with such notables as The Dave Kaplan Trio, Zoa's Arc, RPM Theatre and Caribou Gone, Pete has been the drummer for The Metroes, played trombone with the Glen Rock Pops and viola with the Cedarvale Quartet, Livingston Symphony Orchestra and Danbury Symphony Orchestra.  

Tex started playing drums in his early teens.  Before hooking up with HTB, he has played punk rock with The Squad, weddings with NightLife, original rock with Caribou Gone, acoustic/oldies with Gone Bad and country/western with Dry County, The Country Rebels and White Lightnin' (who were voted one of the top ten country groups in Connecticut).  His influences range from punk to country and from classic rock to Irish folk music.
