Once there was a grown man who lived in a closet.

Well, it wasn’t a real closet. He only used the closet as a secret entrance to his underground lair of steam tunnels where he was able to pursue his interests in math and science with no interruption from the outside world.

And he wasn’t a real man, only a character in the 80’s teen movie “Real Genius.”

What is real is that more than 20 years after the film was released a band in Denver would name themselves after this memorable character. His name was Hollyfeld… Lazlo Hollyfeld.

Lazlo’s Denver descendants, calling themselves The Hollyfelds, departed from the musical style of the 80’s film they took their name from and instead went for a more traditional sound…a country sound…a neo-traditional country sound (tempered with a hefty dose of folk and Americana and just a touch of bluegrass, all anchored by solid pop hooks).
