It’s not everyday you meet someone who wants to dedicate their time and expertise to help you fulfill your vision. Quiet Hounds has been lucky in this regard. Since the release of our first album Southern Charm in 2011 we’ve been embraced and uplifted by fans, supporters and colleagues alike. If it weren’t for all of you, we’d be hard pressed to execute on many of our lofty ideas.
Our earliest supporter was there before we even had a band name. Scott Lansing, the director of our Gigantic and Beacon Sun videos has been behind the scenes with a camera, encouraging words and his own artistic eye, helping propel the Quiet Hounds from the very beginning. Thank you Scott, our friend and comrade. See Scott’s work at sabotagefilmgroup.com
Where would we be without the Arias family? From the grounds of Andersonville Prison to the telling of Quiet Hounds Origin Zack Arias has been capturing our best angle with film & photography for the past 4 years. Then there’s Meghan Arias, our resident Hound-ette. We could write a month’s worth of blogs on all the things she’s done for us and the many hats she wears at any given time for the band. As the Phoenix of Swans & Embers to the writer and choreographer of The Last Days of Snake Nation, Meghan has always been elevating our art with her own and we are ever grateful. Their 4 amazing kids and their greater circle of friends have been invaluable to us. See the Arias perspectives at zackarias.com | meghanarias.com | dedpxl.com
You’ll rarely hear a Quiet Hounds set without the rich, melodic tones of brass. All we wanted to do was something different in the bridge of “I Get Up”. But afterwards we just couldn’t get these guys to leave… They keep sticking around making our music better with their writing, performing and friendship. Dave Daly, Russ Sauve & Umcollisi Terrell, thank you and we look forward to many more shows with you guys.
If you ever google Quiet Hounds, chances are you’ll stumble upon the writings of a one Krissie Callahan, known on the internet only as JrzyGyrl. Sounds like a superhero right? For the first time in our musical careers, which are quite long, someone finally put in to words what we’ve always wanted to read about our art. But not only does she get it and so beautifully narrate our history, Krissie has also been an unmatchable asset to spreading the word about Quiet Hounds. Thank you for all that you do.

Our performances have been riddled with live acting. David Rogers and Michael Trotter have been pivotal in that endeavor. We’re always trying to to engage our fans in something more than song. Something that connects them to the story. These men have made that happen time and time again. Looking forward to the next one boys!
There are so many amazing people and communities that have helped bring Quiet Hounds to life over the past 4 years. To scratch the surface, our deepest appreciation goes out to: Anthony Harper & the Goat Farm, The IndieATL crew, Jake Rothschild, Jamie Kohns, David W. Prasse, Kevin Abeyta, Greg Ashley, Bobbo Jetmundson, Ben Holst, Phillip Aitken, Tiago Velho, Darin Basile, Matt Steadman, Nick Niespodziani & AM1690, Jonathan Baker & Monday Night Brewing, Perrine’s Wine Shop.
