For more than a decade, as keyboardist for Colorado’s beloved String Cheese Incident, Kyle Hollingsworth has consistently proven one of the most innovative and virtuosic musicians on the American jamband scene.

The 2014 release of Speed Of Life marks Kyle’s third solo album, and was inspired by all facets of his life–from beer to babies to music to mayhem–and ranges stylistically from ‘60s funk to modern electronica, featuring both instrumental and lyrical tracks. It was recorded during the well-known Boulder, CO, flood of 2013, where Kyle was holed up in his home studio, fearing water would pour onto his gear.
