Bio / Background
Holly unites several passions in hopes of inspiring and challenging listeners on an intimate level. Founded in the jazz tradition, one can hear in her live and recorded music Brazilian song and Portuguese language, lyrics inspired by the American folk and acoustic music tradition, and unique instrumentation, including accordion, organ, guitar with e-bow , string quartet, and mandolin. The resultant effect has been described as both ethereal and warm, traditional and modern, introspective and inviting.
Her debut album, "the Climb," reflects Holly's varied influences. One can hear Brazilian music, unusual arrangements of jazz standards, and jazz-tinged covers of popular songs. She is particularly fond of penning lyrics to instrumental jazz standards as demonstrated by Wayne Shorter's "Fee Fi Fo Fum," renamed "Siren Song" with the addition of the lyric. Holly stays true to Pat Metheny's delicate ballad "the Road to You," seen here as "the Road to Me.
