Hallelujah the Hills

Hallelujah the Hills arose from the ashes of Boston's late lamented local legends The Stairs. Lead singer/songwriter Ryan Walsh announced the formation of the new band, named after Adolphus Mekas' 1963 cult comedy. Hallelujah the Hills' live shows quickly won accolades from local and national media - that ramshackle democracy can be heard on the band's debut album, Collective Psychosis Begone, released on Misra Records in June 2007. Its follow-up Colonial Drones was subsequently released in 2009 on Misra and was similarly acclaimed as well. HTH has continued to perform and record independently to the present.

Hallelujah the Hills frontman Ryan Walsh is also a journalist, and in 2018 became the author of the New York Times best-seller Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968.
