   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 television shows CSI Miami, The Hills, The OC, Sex and The City, Independent Lens, Without a Trace and Nip/Tuck; a Nissan Motors commercial; movies Poseidon, Day Zero and The Devil Wears Prada, as well as recent album compilations for Pepsi Cola, Tommy Bahama and The Sharper Image to name a few.
