About Edwin Holt Artist
Edwin Holt began performing in the ghettos of South Dallas at the age of twenty as a featured vocalist and harmonica player in a small five piece that served as a pick up band for traveling artists such as Bobby Blue Bland and Little Milton.
The death of rhythm and blues legend Johnnie Taylor would leave a twelve piece soul band without a lead. Jack Williams, Johnnie’s long time band leader, requested Holt take the lead putting him on a fast track within the chitlin circuit and cutting an album that had two hits on XM Radio. One went to number one while the other went to number three.
Bill Wax of XM Bluesville was quoted saying Holt can sing a storm, a storm that would take Holt to the other side of the planet headlining the Broadbeach Blues Festival in Milburn, Australia that same year.
Holt’s sound would take a turn after meeting Ross Holmes, fiddle player for Mumford and Sons, who essentially reinvented the sound to a more classic old string band fusing bluegrass and soul together. Calling themselves the Red Clay Roadhouse Band, Holt took the lead on this new sound touring for five years while incorporating banjo, fiddle, bass, guitar, drums, and three very soulful background vocalists. This ragtag bunch of musicians would land. alongside Keb’ Mo’ and various other blues artists as they toured across the south.
In 2023, Holt began a new journey defining it as the Resurrection. Teaming with Anson Funderburgh, Holt has gathered some of the greatest musicians Texas has to offer while continuing on down the blues highway.
