"Blues with funk on the side. Down and clean more than down and dirty"... several tunes have a "big band" sound with horns and even a choir at one point, but are also seasoned Texas-Style with touches of nasty harmonica and resonator slide guitar.
Edwin S. Holt is a musician and businessman from Tyler, Texas. He was born in Dallas in 1967, but was raised in New London until he started college at the University of Mississippi, and would later transfer to receive a degree in Fine Arts from Texas Christian University. He is most known for his Blues hits, including chart-topping songs from his album, "Second Time Around," as both a performer and songwriter, as well as building an accomplished digital marketing firm, located in Tyler, Texas.
Edwin Holt grew up in New London, Texas. His father was a dentist in the nearby town of Kilgore and his mother was a former Kilgore College Rangerette. Edwin was raised by three African American women which would all play a role in his teachings of black culture, food, and music. “Honey” Louise Bagley would have the most influence as her daughter married a bass player who was part of the Big Bo Thomas blues band in Dallas, Texas. Louise introduced Edwin to the urban streets of Dallas making him a part of the South Dallas music scene. Graduating from West Rusk High School in 1985, Holt spent a brief period attending University of Mississippi before transferring to the Texas Christian University. It was in Mississippi that Holt found his calling to the blues after attending the Mississippi Delta Blues Festival in Greenville, MS at the age of 18.
Edwin's music has been heard on the Sirius-XM Blues Channel, where he’s had two hits as a performer and songwriter. His song, Down to the Bone, went #1, as well as, Somebody’s Gettin’ It, went #3 on Sirius-XM Radio's "Picks to Click" chart. Both songs are featured on the album, Second Time Around. Edwin has headlined shows from the juke joints of South Dallas to the Broadbeach Blues Festival in Australia, and he has opened for such legends as Al Green, Bobby Blue Bland, Grammy Award winner Keb’ Mo’, and the blues monarch himself, B.B. King. He inevitably became a mainstay at venues such as R.L. Griffin's Blues Palace II. After earning the respect of his peers through years of gigs, Holt was eventually asked to take over Johnnie Taylors’ backing band after his death in 2000. He scored a high note when his 2005 album "Second Time Around" took the No. 1 spot on SiriusXM's Bluesville radio channel. Eventually, Holt stepped away from touring to spend more time with family and focus more on his design firm in Tyler. Recently and on tour for two years, Holt leads a new group, The Red Clay Roadhouse, blending blues, bluegrass, roots, and Americana performing local joints around the South. These days, he spends his time in an all male gospel chorus singing in People’s Missionary Baptist Church alongside his youngest son who plays guitar.
After a successful career with a large Dallas advertising agency and the birth of his second child in 1996, Holt decided to start his own fledgling design firm out of his home. Over the past couple of decades his company, Holt Creative Group, has executed brand development work and creative for some of the most prominent companies and nonprofits in the U.S.: ExxonMobil, American Airlines, American Heart Association, EDS, Southern Methodist University, the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and many others.
