Sounds Like	Townes Van Zandt is on stage and he has a beep of ice cream on his nose and Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson are in the corner drawing straws to see who will have to tell him to wipe it off. Jeff Buckley, Kevin Gilbert, Elliott Smith, Conor Oberst, and Kurt Cobain are playing five card draw "jacks to open - trips to win" at the front table. I am the straws, the stage, the cards, and the ice cream.

LUKE IS ONE OF NEXT BIG THING'S BEST ACTS OF 2007

http://nbtmusic.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/the-wonderful-ones/

From Next Best Thing's Best Acts of 2007:

"When Ryan Adams gets you down because of his lack of quality control on his hundredth release of the year, take a spoonful of Mr Holder's immaculate Americana bar band soul boogie elixir. You will be dancing the rough and rumble for weeks afterwards."

BIO FOR "SUN CAME UP"

I took 2 ½ years to write 100 songs for Sun Came Up.
I took 6 months to pick my favorite 10.
I took one month to record the songs tracked mostly live with incredible drummer Brandon Perdue at my brother Drew Holders studio, AMP Recording. We overdubbed the bass (expert work by Jenks Whittenburg of Stereobate, Unlove, and Tungsten 74 who lives in NYC and he also did the graphic design) and pedal steel guitar (more expert work by Rick Faucett) and harmonica.and a little percussion.
I had my Uncle Ken Holder create the amazing cover art.then, after about a month, he painted the whole thing over in blue and made it even more amazing.
Sun Came Up is my 4th Album.
Enjoy,
LH

Jefferson	Mar 17 2008 1:13 PM I like the new stuff. Keep in touch bro!
Korte	Mar 17 2008 11:01 AM Classic case of open mouth insert foot....A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He's rather taken back because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you know me?" To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids." Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and he says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on a pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?!" She looks into his eyes and says calmly, "No, I'm your son's teacher."
McDracula	Mar 17 2008 7:55 AM Whoa ohh ohh JEM! Is truly unruly! Truly truly truly unruly...
Norman McGill	Mar 16 2008 6:51 PM what's up mr. holder? we were just talking this wknd about your dining room shows at the Kennedy's.
McDracula	Mar 14 2008 11:23 PM I had a dream last night where you and I were driving around in an Econoline van listening to death metal. The mood was very relaxed and I think it was snowing outside. If you can decode the hidden meaning behind THAT one, you win the prize...
Natassja	Mar 14 2008 1:33 PM Have an amazing weekend luv! ~Natassja~
LexieK	Mar 13 2008 2:46 PM Are you nuts?! Your show starts at 12:30am Friday morning! Guess I'm not very rock n roll, am I?

McDracula	Feb 25 2008 10:22 PM I've heard good things, but have yet to witness the DONK!. I'm Parlow's official understudy, so I'll be playing with the Wookies at the Burberry's thing. This will allow my dream to come true. I'm not sure what the show is for. I think it's to benefit children born without sideburns.
