Mark Holley Project

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... Yamaha SY-85 synth, Yamaha S-30 synth, Roland Jupiter-6 synth, Roland S-750 sampler, Roland S-10 sampler Korg RK1000 remote keyboard, Alesis Microverb, Ibanez UE-405 analog processor, Sunn 12-channel rack mixer, Peavey KB4 amplification, Charvel acoustic guitar. For home-recording I use a G4 mac and Digital Performer 4.5 with M-Audio interface

This is a "works in progress", and is still changing a little here and there. I wanted to get some feedback on the material before I final master the product. The lyrics, the graphics, and the musical compositions are finished and copyrighted, and all rights are reserved.
