It always makes me feel so good to talk about the Hollens'!! I don't know why, but its just the best feeling...gleeful...helping people to find their music, their art, their vlogs...and the Hollens' themselves: adorable young married couple Peter Hollens and Evynne Hollens. They are professional musicians who make their living off of their stellar musical abilities.
I have myself found so much comfort and joy from their music and from getting to know who they are. Of course I want to help others to gain the benefits of knowing about them and their spectacular art, as well.
Now, my dental visits in the past were a little frustrating; I would talk about the Hollens music, but with piped-in office music, I never used my tablet those other times to actually display their music. And you cannot really verbally talk to the dentist about...much...because your mouth is full of drills, tools and fingers.
But THIS time, today, I went with a plan: I told them my music helps keep me calm, so they turned down the office speaker so I could have the tablet playing Peter and Evynne Hollens videos, on the counter.
Since I don't own headphones yet, I couldn't hear the music during drilling but each time the drill stopped there were Peter's and Evynne's voices, comforting me.
I was surprised to find I wasn't actually fibbing: I was actually calmer during the procedures (including the Novocaine needles, WAY less painful) and the dentist himself noticed a significant difference in a couple ways: something about me usually requires several tries at making dental impressions before they got a good one, three or four times. But today with Hollens' voices comforting me, two different dental impressions, each perfect the first try.
The dentist also said my tongue seemed to stay out of the way better today than ever before. [Ok, doc, whatever.]
He not only said he hopes I always bring my music back every time to my dental visits, he and the hygienist both intend to get to know the Hollens music much better on YouTube.
I didn't have to say anything to get them 'hooked' on Hollens' music, you know: their music speaks for itself. I just answer a few questions as they come up.
Peter Hollens and Evynne Hollens each have their own YouTube channels where they create high quality music videos, and each song cover is available for sale directly from them at Loudr.fm .Evynne Hollens has both music videos as well as vlogs about their daily normal lives on her channel and she has an awesome three-octave vocal range. I love how low she goes in her cover of 'Let It Go' a song from Disney's 'FROZEN' movie.
Peter Hollens has over 65 music videos on his YouTube channel, including several duets with Evynne as well as collaborations with other YouTube musicians. Peter specializes in doing intricate a cappella: he typically records himself performing the parts of a song 60, 80 or over 120 times then overlaps them together, creating works of depth and complexity.
Peter earned a music degree in college and has just under four octaves in his vocal range.
