Ringo Star, the legendary Beetle drummer, once said “If you are over the age of 40, the chances of making it in this industry are slim to none if your just starting out.” I guess PineHill didn’t listen, because they are a mixture of talent with ages ranging from 24 to 60, and they are doing fine.  PineHill is comprised of: Morgan More - vocals and bass, Kyle James - Six Strings, and Steve - Percussion.

With such a diverse age group, they all agree that it helps bring different aspects to the table in terms of their music and sound making them as successful as they are today.  “Sure we argue, but it all works out for the best at the end.”

The band didn’t just magically appear together one day, in fact the band as you know them today, came about as an accident gone right.  Originally it was Steve and Moragn with another friend that made up PineHill, they were being recorded by long time friend Kyle.  When the last member of the band left, they had nobody to play the guitar. One night while recording, they asked Kyle if he wanted to take a break from the recording session and jam out a bit.  It was then they found their third member and they pulled him from retirement.  They say “we are 3 completely different pieces to this puzzle, but it fits perfectly in the end.”

Having watched the band live, I can attest to that last statement, they do fit perfectly despite the completely different styles; which creates a unique sound and energy from within that makes PineHill, PineHill.  Steve is an extremely talented drummer who is amazing to watch. Kyle has a gift to pick, and can rock with the best of them. Morgan, sporting dreadlocks thrashes those locks while singing his heart out.

Currently they have found a fan base and people really dig their sound.  They are starting to book shows all around the state of Florida, including cities like Jacksonville, Gainesville, and the Tampa Bay area.  In January the band starts to tour other states including: Tennessee, Georgia, South & North Carolina and St. Louis Missouri.  Keep checking their MySpace to see if they are coming to your neighborhood.
