Tony Holiday is a singer and harmonica player from Salt Lake City although since 2017 he settled in Memphis. Since that moment, Tony shook up city music scene as, besides he is a blues passionate, he has managed to surround himself with a band of young musicians with an amazing chemistry among them, who give a lively energy to the music they perform. The group has also opened for artists like Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Steve Miller Band, Blind Boys Of Alabama or Charlie Musselwhite among others.

This new album moves and balances along the rhythms of North Mississippi Hill Country Blues, Memphis soul and Delta blues, which makes as a result a bunch of suggestive songs that undoubtedly will catch the attention of listeners.

Although the album only gathers eight songs, they are enough to discover the potential of this singer, harmonica player and band leader called Tony Holiday as well as the band musicians who are A. J. Fullerton on guitar and banjo, Dave Gross on guitar, accordion, keyboards and vocals who, together with Fullerton have been responsible of the album production, Aubrey McCrady on guitar, Victor Wainwright on keyboards, Terrence Grayson on bass, Lee Williams Jr. on drums, Mickey Junior on vocals and Jake Friel on harmonica.

A curious, digestive album that will cover the expectations of mestizo blues fans as, not in vain Tony Holiday is now one of the most remarkable emerging names of the blues that today is cooked in Memphis.
