Springhill, a Pittsburgh based folk-rock band, was formed when Dan Prokop met Chip Hothem in college, where they began playing and writing music shortly after meeting. The name was taken from a nearby Amish driveway, Springhill Lane. Joining the group soon after the songwriters met was Jeremy Harchelroad and Josh LaValle. The band has been influenced by a variety of artists, from The Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Ben Folds and Jack Johnson. Feel-good music reminiscent of the early '90's is layered behind melodies that will make you want to sing along. Added to the catchy pop/rock songs are improv solos by each member of the band, experimenting with their love of playing music. This smooth inventive feel-good jam with a pop/rock mix is sure to leave you wanting more.
Springhill's debut EP, a self-produced six song CD entitled A Year From the Valley, was released in October of 2005. Recording began before Josh officially entered the band, therefore featuring Dan on the bass. The then trio spent the summer of 2005 enjoying their first time in a professional studio, recording the first of their original songs which have since been played on several college radio stations.
The band released their second album, a full length CD entitled Contemporary Theories in December 2006.Your musical influences
