Battle Not With Monsters is a high energy duet out of Durham, NC performing modern, alternative, acoustic folk rock. Singer-songwriters Patrick Blackburn and Philip Hollingsworth have been collaborating musically for over ten years. Blackburn’s sullen, emotional vocal style is complimented by the raw, high energy vocals of Hollingsworth as the duo performs songs that continually focus on providing meaningful lyrics that express the creative and recreative nature of artistic expression.
