PaSH Bands: Dead Fingers

By: Kaneshia Sims

Kate and Taylor Hollingsworth are members of the group Dead Fingers, a name derived from a child hand trick that deceives your brain into thinking that you’ve lost the feeling in your fingers.  Both Kate and Taylor can contest to love at first song when it comes to making music together. As lifelong partners as well as Birmingham residents, this local, music power couple are both American and European hits. Just returning off of their latest tour, Dead Fingers is preparing for their next album to release.

As an indie/folk band, they are “loving all the change taking place in the city right now.” The Hollingsworth’s are keeping busy with a new baby, writing a new album, and planning a tour.  They have come a long way since their first set at The Bottletree a few years back. With a promising music career in their future, lead singer Kate says she takes pride in providing for her family while doing something she loves with her band mate and husband Taylor.

“Not only is he my husband and father of my child but he is the best guitar player I know,” stated Kate.

For all you aspiring musicians out there Kate offers some advice. “Keep playing if you love it. Even if everyone else hates it, just keep playing.”
