In this episode of Look Who It Is, I sit down with Jesse DeGroot, co-founder and guitarist of Beneath The Hollow.
We talk about what it really takes to keep a heavy band moving while balancing a full-time job, marriage, kids, touring, and constant writing.
Jesse breaks down:
• Why he went back and relearned guitar after nearly 20 years of playing
• Studying music theory and how it changed his approach
• Working with producer Machine and refining their sound
• Navigating singer changes and long inactive stretches
• Recording, reamping, tone chasing, and why “it’s gotta have some ugly on it”
• The reality of being a regional band and loving it anyway
• The moment someone sings your lyrics back to you
This is a grounded conversation about discipline, longevity, and making music for the band first with no hype, no shortcuts.
