About Me

"A forthright songwriter with an ear for rootsy melody"
-The Washington Post

Mike Holden burst onto the scene in 2002 with his debut CD, Exhibit A, generating press from publications such as The Village Voice, Time Out New York and The Washington Post. For his newest release, a four-song E.P. released in late August 2005 and entitled Level, Holden worked with producer Ted Comerford (Virginia Coalition) and Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Wilco, Suzanne Vega), who mixed the album and played on all four tracks.

Level contains Holden's original songs "Help Me Sleep," "Take No Victims," "Drop The Other Shoe," and "Moving Still," which can all be streamed here on MySpace. All four songs from the EP are available as downloads on iTunes and on CD at awarestore.com and CDBaby .
