Kyle Hollingsworth’s journey begins Sept. 17 in Charleston, S.C.  The SCI keyboardist is touring in support of his third solo album, Speed Of Life.

With his list of solo gigs beginning this month and running into October, Hollingsworth is combining his passion for music with his love for craft beer.  A long-time home brewer, Hollingsworth has partnered with three breweries to create limited edition brews that are available now. And if that’s not enough to wet your whistle, Hollingsworth is offering free “Hop Tracks” from the album with each song coinciding with one of the beers. 

For example, “Racer X” has been paired with Stone Brewing Company’s Collective Distortion IPA.  “Here We Go” has been matched with Boulder Beer Company’s Hoopla Pale Ale and “Happening Now” appropriately goes with Cigar City Brewing & Rock Brothers Brewing’s Happening Now IPA.

For his upcoming run, Hollingsworth will appearing as a co-headliner on some dates and as support on others.
