The South Hill Experiment delivers an unforgettable full-set performance for Jam in the Van’s live music discovery series. Recorded inside the iconic Jam in the Van mobile studio while parked in Austin, Texas, this session captures the band’s distinctive sound and creative energy in its purest form.
Brothers Baird and Gabe Acheson, the duo behind The South Hill Experiment (S/H/E), have built a reputation for pushing musical boundaries. Raised in Baltimore and now based in Los Angeles, their project grew from a warehouse studio on South Hill Street into a bold artistic statement. With three LPs defining their journey, including MOONSHOTS (ethereal beginnings), SUNSTRIKES (featuring legends like Jeff Parker), and the upcoming EARTHBREAKS, S/H/E merges atmospheric soundscapes with inventive collaborations.
This performance highlights their signature “Lizard Rock” style—a mix of dynamic rhythms, layered textures, and raw emotion. Following sold-out shows in LA and NY, a live KCRW session, and their SXSW 2024 debut, this session brings their experimental approach to new heights.
