What's new at the Hundredth Hill:
JUNE: A Month-Long Album Creation Comes to The Hill

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, author, and podcaster Carrie Newcomer brings a group of world-class musicians from all over the country for a month-long recording project at the Hill's Airtime Recording Studios with Producer/Engineer David Weber at the helm. She's joined by Nashville's Paul Kowert, Ben Sollee, and Jordan Tice, as well as North Carolina's Jim Brock, Vermont's Moira Smiley, and the Indiana home team of Gary Walters and Ella Jordan.
With an incredible catalogue of solo and collaborative albums, we're excited to hear what beautiful sounds and ideas emerge when she gathers this talented collective of players in one room! We'll feature Carrie's journey and info on the new album in this month's Substack article, so Sign Up to stay on top of what's happening and what continues to grow and move forward out of these green hills.
