Shredder & Songwriter Jax Hollow Releases Debut Album ‘Underdog Anthems’ “2021 is the year of Jax Hollow"
Rock revival is getting a fierce new feel with Underdog Anthems, the debut album from singer-songwriter and shredder, Jax Hollow. A blend of classic rock, blues, and Americana — like Chris Stapleton meets Pat Benatar — the album showcases Jax’s soulful vocals, raw storytelling, and real, authentic musical chops.
The music world has been left abuzz by a steady stream of singles released from the album, including “High Class Bitch,” “Say My Name,” and “Drift Together.”
The release of the full record reveals the very real essence of Jax’s core songwriting and performance values — honesty, passion, and a relatable intimacy.

With Underdog Anthems, Jax unleashes the full power of her vagabond, soul-searching and heart-piercing anthems. Recorded and produced by the 101 million+ album-selling legend, Michael Wagener (Metallica, Skid Row, Extreme, etc.), the album announces itself with the wailing vocals and searing guitar riffs of “High Class Bitch,” a bluesy, biting anthem full of personality. Next up, “Rebound” bounces into the thrill of genre-breaking boundaries, a Zeppelinesque classic rock feel that guitarists will drool over. And while the album is full of pounding rockers like “Say My Name,” it also shows off Jax’s natural songwriting ability to craft a hit song. It’s a skill put on full display in “Drift Together” — and pure evidence that Jax Hollow is the absolute real deal.
“Jax is an amazing artist, her music is different and instantly identifiable,” said Wagener. “She’s a joy to work with in the studio and comes up with parts in an instant, if needed. Her performances are mostly first takes and there’s never a need for autotune. Her guitar work is very special…and totally Jax.”
While Underdog Anthems officially announces Jax Hollow’s presence on the record scene, she’s been a musical force to be reckoned with for years. Upon her graduation from Berklee College of Music, she took her musical skills down to Nashville. Since then, she’s toured with some of Music City’s top musicians, eventually landing a spot on The Rolling Stone Rock Room, an exciting new classic rock club traveling aboard the Holland America Cruise Line. Jax has also opened for classic rock legends (Great White, Vixen) in front of thousands of people and has played hundreds of shows. And while the COVID pandemic may have brought touring to a halt in 2020, Jax is looking at a most promising 2021.
And promising is quite the understatement. Jax Hollow is truly an underdog on the upswing, graduating as one of just a handful of female guitar principles from Berklee. Defying the odds is in her DNA, and this passion shines in her debut to the world. Watch her perform the entire album March 7th at 8 pm cst. from The 5 Spot in Nashville.

Underdog Anthems is available on all popular music download and streaming platforms.
