  • FROG HOLLOW: Band On the Rise

    Imbert Matthee, The Times|Apr 26, 2012

    WAITSBURG - It's Wednesday night. All is quiet throughout the tree-lined streets near Waitsburg's historic Bruce Mansion, except on the corner of Fourth and Orchard. You have to strain to hear it, but when you get closer to the home of Brian and Wendy Richards, the muffled thumps of the steady beat and bass notes emerge from somewhere underground. The weekly practice of the Frog Hollow Band, arguably the most popular country rock group in the Walla Walla Valley, is well underway. Down in the...
