Press

““The Hungry Monks have obviously embraced the art of song craft. They have a knack for composing fine melodies, clever arrangements, and smart lyrical twists. Traditional song structure is something they both respect and tease. Holenko's technique on guitar and mandolin is so smooth, it makes his sophisticated melodies and hooks seem simple. Ketchum's vocal range is almost as impressive as her expressive delivery.””
—  Ballard Lesseman, The Charleston City Paper

We have lots of good stuff coming up: Grateful Dead nights at The Pour House, weekends at Tommy Condon's Irish Pub, a couple of nice private concerts in Greenville, SC, and an end of the year concert at The Stanhope House in NJ with our good friends ...
