Artist History Hobbit began some years ago (1st Age) when 'Turk' and Gene sparked a vision to write music. The combination of similar rock'n'roll influences, and the powerful attraction (and living in!) to J.R.R.Tolkien's Middle Earth, opened the way to a style everyone called "Fantasy Rock". The addition of Rusty Honeycutt and his artistic drumworks rounded out the band. When Richard Hill came into the "fold", the fellowship was complete, turning the vision to a reality. After some time, Rusty left the band and was rep laced by the very solid drumming of Keith Young (2nd Age begins!). A couple of years later after drawing a very successful regional following, they were advised by Robin Hood Bryan (recorded the first few ZZ-Top LP's) to become a little more mainstream t han singing songs about Mordor, wizards, hobbits and elves, resulting in this CD, "Two Feet Tall".A combination of mainstream and fantasy, provides something for everyone in the melodic/pomp/AOR/prog. rock vein. Hobbit invites you to join the growing family, share some longbottom leaf and ale, sit back, and enjoy something different!ò
