Holly Taormina rushes into the quaint side room set behind the bar at The Orchard Tavern where her bandmates are waiting to order lunch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWords cannot describe how much I hate driving a car,\u201d she exclaims through clinched teeth, as she takes her seat. The Holly to Holly & Evan<\/a> can be as tempestuous as the energy she exhibits on stage. Especially if she\u2019s caught behind someone driving too slowly. \u201cI have no tolerance or patience for people who don\u2019t know how to put their foot on the gas pedal.\u201d\"\"<\/p>\n

Between raising a family, logging in 40-plus hours at the U.S. Postal Service Honors Pete Seeger with New Stamp<\/a>U.S. Postal Service where she works, and the precious little time spent with the band, Taormina is a woman with places to go and too much in her way. It\u2019s a feeling shared by the rest of the band. There are obstacles standing in the way, and they\u2019re itching to move past. A local radio station continues to play a single the band released a few years ago. It\u2019s the only one they have. Despite having enough songs to cut a CD, finding the money and time to get together to record is a challenge in itself \u2014 something to which all bands juggling day jobs can relate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those things we want to get to,\u201d said Evan Conway. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to get everybody together to get this thing out. It\u2019s been like that for a while.\u201d As with most bands, musicians juggle their time between the day jobs that pay the bills, and the nightlife that satiates their dreams to play music. No one is living off music alone. Except, maybe, Josh Greenberg, the band\u2019s sax player. He\u2019s a retired music teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cJosh plays with, I don\u2019t know how many different bands, a good number of them. That goes into figuring out when we can play. But, Bob [Morris, the band\u2019s drummer] also plays in a number of different bands. Holly has a job that she works six days a week, [with] overnights\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Around the table, there is a sense of family. Greenberg helps Taormina\u2019s daughter out with picking from the tavern\u2019s menu. Once the food arrives, everyone gives Morris a hard time for stealing a chicken finger from Taormina\u2019s son. The band\u2019s been together for more than five years. In the case of Morris and Conway, they\u2019ve played together since the two were in high school more than a decade ago. So, when everyone mentions Taormina\u2019s demanding job schedule, it\u2019s all out of respect. On top of her obligations as a mother of two and her pursuit of a supervisor\u2019s position at the post office, she continues to write songs. Some of which, Greenberg describes as \u201chip-hop\u201d in origin. A description she greets with a smile, though she jokes, her songs sound like that because she\u2019s angry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the insane work schedule that Holly works has created this situation over the past year, where we play fewer performances, but we knock \u2018em dead,\u201d said Greenberg. \u201cI think there is something that is just beginning to change. With Holly being the songwriter, and with Holly and Evan being the music arrangers. I think the music is brilliant. It\u2019s meaningful, it\u2019s original and it absolutely deserves to get out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holly and Evan is a self-described \u201cblues based Alt Rock\u201d band that\u2019s \u201ctinged with jazz and soul.\u201d The band\u2019s Facebook page lists off Skip James and Robert Johnson among its influences, old-school blues performers with no earthly ties to the Capital District. Johnson died in Mississippi in 1938 at the age of 27. His life story was the inspiration behind the 1986 Ralph Macchio film \u201cCrossroads.\u201d Legend says he sold his soul to the devil. A gifted guitar player, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Conway, too, is a gifted guitar player. His father, Ed, said he has the unnatural ability to pick up a song by ear and play it. As a kid, he\u2019d play before gatherings at the Hibernian Hall. His first taste at playing in front of a crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this band is poised to have a product and a presence, there\u2019s no doubt about it,\u201d said Greenberg. \u201cI think the live performances have just come alive. I think Holly\u2019s performances are phenomenal. I think all of us are performing at a very high level. We know the material. We\u2019ve been playing together for a number of years, so it\u2019s very intuitive. And, we just absolutely have a great time playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band works without the aid of a manager to book gigs or maintain social media channels. Some of those duties fall on Evan\u2019s mother, Kathy. Nonetheless, it\u2019s Evan\u2019s responsibility to update Facebook. He admits, months can go by between posts. Despite the relative quiet internet chatter, the band has gained a larger audience. Gigs outside the Tri-City area have been more frequent, including a near regular appearance at The Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Mass. The inn, that dates back before the American Revolution, has hosted Leonard Cohen and James Taylor.<\/p>\n

Taormina believes it\u2019s the band\u2019s penchant for original work, instead of a \u201cjukebox full of covers,\u201d the audience appreciates most. She believes musicians are artists, and should obligate themselves to not just the instrument they play, but to apply thought towards stage presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what really bothers me about music nowadays,\u201d said Taormina. \u201cI mean, I look at The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and I look at them as artwork. The way they dressed and the way they performed. Nowadays it\u2019s just plastic. Not to put anybody down. It\u2019s just not visually stimulating. It doesn\u2019t do anything for me visually or mentally. The clothes, you know? Fashion and music, it all goes together. Nobody is grasping that now.\u201d<\/p>\n

[A scornful stare.] \u201cIt\u2019s like watching a play. Like a high school play,\u201d said Taormina. \u201cNot to put her down. It\u2019s great for her, but I miss the seriousness of it. I took my kids to see 21 Pilots at the Times Union [Center]. They were unbelievable. One of the best shows I\u2019ve ever seen. I\u2019ve seen a lot of shows. \u2026 Two people on stage. The set was all art. He did a backflip off the drum platform. They lifted the drum platform, and he played the drums on top of the audience. The coolest thing I\u2019ve ever seen. There\u2019s a band that is innovative, and thinking, and trying to get people to think. That\u2019s important. We can do it on a small-scale. I mean, it\u2019s as simple as thinking about what I\u2019m going to wear before I walk on the stage. It\u2019s how I\u2019m going to do my hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekend Holly and Evan play the main stage at Albany\u2019s Tulip Fest. That, too, shows another evolution to the band\u2019s growing popularity. It will be the band\u2019s second time at the annual Mother\u2019s Day festival. Its first appearance was relegated to the local stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting to that point,\u201d said Greenberg. \u201cSo, I think that somebody\u2019s got to come along and produce it. Somebody\u2019s got to come in and take care of that business. Promotion. Promotion. Promotion. It would have to be somebody who is willing to invest a lot\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone willing to work with four cranky people,\u201d said Evan.<\/p>\n

As Greenberg said, there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Things are beginning to open up for a band juggling daytime obligations with nighttime dreams. Short of making a deal with the devil, Evan said there\u2019s always a need to strive towards the big picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to have the big picture goal,\u201d said Evan. \u201cYou have to have that picture where you\u2019re sitting on the beach in Tahiti in the middle of winter. To say, I can afford anything I want. You\u2019ve got that dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even care about that,\u201d said Taormina. \u201cI just want my Grammy.\u201d<\/p>\n
