Hollis Brown is an American Rock 'n' Roll band. Named after a Bob Dylan song ("The Ballad of Hollis Brown"), the band was formed by Queens-natives and songwriters Mike Montali (lead vocals/guitar) and Jonathan Bonilla (lead guitar). Both 2nd-generation immigrants (Italian-American and Puerto Rican-American, respectively), they soon found their musical brethren across America, recruiting Andrew Zehnal (drums) from Cleveland, and Adam Bock (keyboard/vocals) from St. Louis. The band has achieved a significant amount of success since their formation in 2009. Alongside side raves from media across the globe, the band's repertoire has been featured in the worldwide trailer for the Michael Keaton film "The Founder," the Willem Dafoe/Matt Dillon film "Bad Country," Direct TV's "Kingdom"; Showtime's "Shameless," MTV's "Real World," and an online ad campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch alongside many other syncs.
