multi-instrumentalist and avant-garde torch-bearer Stephen has had the good
fortune to work with some fantastic musicians. ChollyHoss was created as a
way to assist these musicians in getting the exposure and support that they
deserve. Stay tuned as ChollyHoss pounds the pavement to bring you the
best in music that dares to be different."
