Holly's musical journey started when she was 4 years old where, outside her house in Santa Rosa, CA she would make up songs for the birds flocked on the telephone wire. She studied through her formative years in Monterey, Chicago and finally landed in Los Angeles. She has played small clubs throughout town, including the Ghengis Cohen, Rainbow Room, El Cid, The Derby, Highland Grounds, and Room 5. She enjoyed a year-long residency at Canter's Kibitz Room and now frequents Tangier's. Highlights include singing in Carnegie Hall, opening for Pavorotti at her high school alma mater, Robert Louis Stevenson, and the first time she saw Phish in Monterey, CA. She was spotted by a record label producer at an open mic who recorded her song "Treasure," available at myrecordlabel.net/hollygleason. Having written a vast repertoire of eclectic music, she is currently working on her debut album.
