Nashville  musicians Hello Walls are getting ready to rock the Music Tree Festival in Manchester, on the main stage at Rotary Park, June 2, 2012. While we make preparations for a live interview, the guys have taken some time to put this together as an introduction to their alt/rock/americana music. Wilco and My Morning Jacket come to mind, spinning this track. Give it a whirl…

What are your goals as a musician? How far would you like to go, what do you see as the next big hurdle?
Recording and touring. The hurdles are constant and always smacking you in the face. Sometimes you see them coming but most of the time you don’t.
