Artist History Blues rock music has found the way to Tennessee and it’s name is Lovell Hill. Born in the hills of the Knoxville area, the band has applied a decidedly southern touch to Texas-influenced electric blues guitar. Since forming in early 1999, Lovell Hill has become a mainstay of the east Tennessee music scene, building a loyal following with their power-packed marathon sets. The band is currently touring the Southeast in preparation for the 2001 release of the debut self-released CD, Mojo Man, which will feature seven original tunes. Steeped in the lore of Stevie Ray Vaughan and inspired by the younger crop of guitar firebrands, you’ll hear Kenny Wayne Shepherd among their influences, and it’s not surprising. Lovell Hill lead guitarist Robb McMahan has worked closely with the artist in developing Shepherd’s website and has perhaps picked up some chops in the process. You can also see Robb’s handiwork on the Lovell Hill website, www.lovellhill.com. In the fall of 1999 the band released a self-produced promotional CD of some licensed cover tunes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robin Trower, Chris Duarte and The Arc Angels to showcase their sound to the Southeastern club circuit. Interest in the CD spread and generated requests from across the country. Tracks from the CD were even featured on radio stations in Arkansas and Indiana. After several requests they uploaded some of the songs from this CD to the leading music site MP3.com where they have quickly been added to many blues and rock streaming cybercast stations. They also received a request from new music site Nirve TV for a video that can be viewed on the “basement tapes” section of their website. This growing interest led the band to write and record Mojo Man.
