So, here's the story behind our name. It's not exciting, but you went to all the trouble of clicking on this page, so we'll tell you anyway ... we got the idea for our name from a former co-worker of "Porkchop's". Chris Arrick suggested that the group be named "The Tugaloo Hollerers". We liked the idea, but the name was hard to say. So, we changed it to Tugaloo Holler. The Tugaloo (pronounced the same as Tugalo) is a river not far from our hometown. Many non-natives (from up north and out west) have moved into our area and they pronounce Tugaloo as Two-ga-lou. We decided to change the spelling to T-u-g-a-l-o as to avoid the confusion. We actually took the spelling from the local Tugalo Gas Company. And that's the rest of the story... What's in a name?... First and foremost Tugalo Holler is a ministry. We consider it a privilege and honor to be able to spread joy and happiness and God's word through song. We are a bluegrass band and we enjoy playing gospel, old standards, new songs and some songs that we have "bluegrassified".
