Welcome to the Page For Mark Holley, Keyboardist/Guitarist/Writer from Norman, Oklahoma.
This is a solo project with all instruments written on keyboards with the exception of acoustic guitars and some lead guitar work. Absolutely no loops are ever used!
Several songs have been re-worked with Mark Alexander taking on the bass tracks and the lead vocal tracks. BIG THANKS to Mark!

Why this name?
As I'm the only member of the "band" at this point, there is no band name as yet
Do you play live?
I play in a great cover band in and around the Norman & Oklahoma City metro area and sit in frequently with several other groups.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well I think all in all it is beneficial to the independent artist and gives the little guy a chance to be heard...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Oh *SNAP* absolutely
Band History:
Played with several top-notch bands in Oklahoma for many years and opened for several touring groups including, Steppenwolf, Pat Travers, Leslie West and Mountain, Fabulous Thunderbirds, etc.
I studied piano classically from an early age and then moved to classical guitar. Majored in Music in College for a year and discovered that is a HUGE commitment i didnt have time for (regrets)...
Currently this is an individual effort for me, this solo project being a collection of tunes not performed live yet with the exception of two of the tracks.
