James Holland

North Texas born, central Texas raised, I grew up on southern rock and country. I always loved to sing from pre-school impersonations of Elvis, to the top show choirs in my area. As an energetic kid listening to my grandpa playing his old country tunes I asked for a guitar, I got a harmonica (still can't play that thing). Years later my wife bought me my first guitar. I played and played and played. A year later I started my first band. We never did make it out of my tiny appartment in Virginia, but I sure learned alot. I also began to write music. Over the last six years I have played in Texas, Florida, Virginia, California, and floating on two oceans. Two years ago Adam Dias (friend, co-writer, studio guru, and an excelent musician) suggested I make my own album. After months of long hours we found some of the best musicians in northern California and put the finishing touches on my debut CD "Guitar, Good Friends, and a Fifth of Tequila". Take a listen, I hope you enjoy!
