User:Hobbitband1/Hobbit (band)

Hobbit is an American progressive rock band from Tyler, Texas, founded in 1977 by guitarist Gene Fields and bassist Paul 'Turk' Henry. Their music and lyrical content is based upon the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien, notably The Lord of the Rings. Hobbit was known throughout the Southwest for their exciting live concerts, and their musical style can be considered a mixture of influence from progressive bands such as Yes, Jethro Tull and Kansas. Although they continue to release recordings, no live band line-up exists at the present time.
