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!
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.
I play in a great cover band in and around the Norman & Oklahoma City metro area and sit in frequently with several other groups.
Elton John, Ben Folds, Bruce Horsby, Billy Joel, Emerson Lake, Palmer, Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess, etc...
Currently i use the same gear live as in the studio, and i'm a bit old school too...
