Little Jane and the Pistol Whips

Hometown: Livingston
Members: Ashly Jane Holland, Quinton King, Russ Smith, Tom Murphy, Britt Smith, Jamey Warren
Current Release: Each Little Note (2013)
Let’s make one thing clear: the frontwoman’s name isn’t really Little Jane. It is, however, Jane Holland, and she’s a triple threat who sings, writes songs, and plays everything from the fiddle to the accordion. Jane and her band members are based out of miniscule Livingston, and that small-town vibe comes through on their Americana, folksy tracks. And though Little Jane and the Pistol Whips sound country, they’ve done some pretty big-city things, including being featured on two Montana PBS shows and being one of only 40 bands across the country chosen to apply for the American Music Abroad program in San Francisco.
