Josh Holmes
 
Chicago-area favorite, Josh Holmes, melds guitar-driven rock and roll with insightful lyrics and no-holds-barred live performances. After trying several projects, Josh Holmes found success when he decided to go solo in 1998 with his own project. The majority of the performances primarily consist of Josh playing solo, but as many of the avid Josh Holmes fans know there is a band behind the name. The band has been described as “impressively cohesive and a group beyond their years.” Reviews like these combined with an ever-growing fan base, it is no wonder that the project Josh Holmes started in 1998 has left such a huge impression on the Midwest.

Front man and songwriter Holmes was raised on Motown and classic rock and roll. His musical style manages to reflect his varied influences including artist such as; Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, Smokey Robinson and the Temptations while maintaining a modern sound. Part rock and roll troubadour, part guitar prodigy, and part jukebox, the self-taught Holmes puts on energetic, eclectic, and extremely entertaining live performances. A typical show includes solid musicianship interspersed with humor, rock and roll history lessons, improvisations, and audience participation. Whether you catch Josh Holmes solo or with his Band, you are guaranteed an exciting musical experience. It is these live performances that have made Josh Holmes a regional favorite throughout the Midwest.
