Song Of The Holler: A New 15-track Album From Marty Falle
Nashville recording artist and songwriter Marty Falle has just announced the release of Song of the Holler, a fifteen-song collection of original bluegrass music inspired by the people, places, and traditions of Appalachia.
Song of the Holler is due out on 1st. August 2026. Radio presenters may download the album from Get It Played here.
Song of the Holler was produced by acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Yudkin, the album brings together exceptional musicianship and vivid storytelling to celebrate a region whose history continues to shape the American experience.
Drawing inspiration from Kentucky’s coal camps, mountain churches, family farms, railroad towns, and wooded hollers, Song of the Holler tells stories of resilience, faith, sacrifice, redemption, and home. Each song reflects real places and the lives of ordinary people whose strength, determination, and values have been passed from one generation to the next.
The mountains have always been filled with remarkable stories. My hope is that these songs honour the people who lived them and help preserve a small part of that heritage for future generations – Marty Falle.
The new album, Song of the Holler, features an outstanding group of Nashville musicians led by producer Jonathan Yudkin, with performances by Jenee Fleenor, Rob Ickes, Matt Menefee, Carl Miner, Mike Bub, Kevin Swine Grantt, Josh Matheny, Jim Hoke, Tim Galloway, Wes Little, Brian Allen, Mike Waldron, Devin Malone, and vocal performances by Carly Greer, Kim Parent, and Ashleigh Graham.

McIntyre; Portal 31, honouring Kentucky’s coal mining heritage; Feed Sack Curtain, celebrating the resourcefulness of Appalachian families; Lunch Pail Testament, reflecting the quiet courage of coal miners; Prayer for the Poisoned Man, a moving song of redemption; and The Highway’s Empty Gospel, a thoughtful reflection on faith and purpose.
Recently featured on the cover of Americana Rhythm Magazine, Falle has become known for writing songs that blend Appalachian history with contemporary bluegrass, creating music that is deeply rooted in tradition while offering a fresh perspective through original storytelling.
About Marty Falle:
Marty Falle Band
History and heritage naturally go hand in hand, and the desire to preserve the former is generally maintained by preserving the latter. Singer, songwriter and musician Marty Falle knows that all too well. His connection to the traditional music of Appalachia was spawned from spending much of his time after graduating from college living in Kentucky, the place where bluegrass was born. Now living on a farm in Eastern Kentucky, he’s thoroughly absorbed the music, culture and influences of that storied region, and in the process, made them his own.
Falle’s producer, Grammy winner Jonathan Yudkin, sums it up succinctly. Marty seeks stories, history, legends, and paths in creativity… His fresh sound comes from the fact that he is not trying to emulate bluegrass bands of the past or present. Instead, he is creating his songs out of his love of music, unfettered by the influence of other artists. That’s what I enjoy the most about working with him. His songs are always unpredictable and surprising…
That, then, is the essence of an artist who’s not only impacted by history and heritage, but one who effectively moves those foundations forward as well. He’s an Appalachian original and a dedicated contributor to Americana music in general.
