   About Holmes
Thanks for checking out my space. Just wrapped up my 2nd album. Song preview are now up and the music is available on my website and on iTunes. I'll be getting back out there for some live dates soon -- check here for details. In the meantime holla back, or silently type if you prefer. Thank you for all the email love and to all the radio stations who've been spinning the tracks!

"Stacked with catchy songs that glisten with pop sheen... lush delicate and infectious... Just about as good as it gets"
- First Coast News

"Holmes is a singer-songwriter who pens the kind of melodic, unpretentious songs that scream for usage in film and TV. There's a humor, wistfulness and universality that would compare well with some of the best of Ben Folds or Beck"
- Los Angeles Times

"Seek this music out and your soul will be shaked and baked"
- PowerPopaholic











Holmes’ music career started in Boston where he worked as a bar pianist and session keyboardist while studying at Berklee College of Music. He then moved to NYC, working as a composer, and now resides in LA spending his time producing records, taking care of his aging dog, staying up late, occasionally composing for television and running his own record label. His music has been featured on dozens of television shows and movies. From time to time he'll get out of his studio, leave his beloved vintage recording gear unattended and play a live show with his talented friends. Holmes given name is Roy. He answers to either one.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with something orginal to say?

I mean everybody says “You rock”. or “Your music is great”

So, I’ll just say this: You know what you’re doing. Keep on doing it.

Nice job, Brother Holmes. Hey, do you know the NYC-based blues/soul outfit The Holmes Brothers? Worth checking out.

Hi Roy - thanks for the heads-up. That's SUCH a nice, gentle, if somewhat downbeat (2nd half, i.e.), song! Lovely video too.

I'm on facebook too, but I dislike it intensely. Far too much bulls**t. MySpace is much better - but it seems a facebook presence is compulsory...

cheers
