About Jon Holt

Welcome to the Jon Holt Myspace. After a decade of consistently performing in public as a solo artist and nearly 8 years of not sucking while performing as a solo artist (at least that's my opinion), I am now sharing my songs and my view of the musical world via my debut CD, scheduled for release in November 2008. To introduce my songs to the world, I enlisted the talents of many established, and not-so-established, Central Texas musicians. The guest roster includes:

David Zychek
Rick “Chainsaw” Turnpaugh
Lazy J
Colt-45
Marcus Berrios
Matt Holt
Ronny “Rug” Griffin
Kirby “Big Whipper” Sodek
Donald "Doc" Shuffield
"King Dave" Irons
Erin Lingo

Not having a steady band as a solo performer, I brought in several musicians to create a full-ensemble quality to this record. With so many talented musicians, the process of making this record invoked many magical moments, which have been captured and are reflected in the unique stylings of each song.

I wrote all 11 songs on this record, but the final mix is a collaborative vision shared with David Zychek. David brought his many years of experience as artist and producer and his many musical and engineering talents to the table for this project to help produce a representative and original offering.

I think this record is about life and music. It’s about not sweating the small stuff and it’s about growing and generosity. It’s about dumping negative memories of the past, holding on to good ones, and moving forward. It’s about making the most of your life.

paul bibbins	Jun 22 2008 4:53 PM Hey Jon, If you haven’t done so already, check out “Frantic Freedom”, the newest song added to the music player on my page. It’s a live studio groove rock jam that’s funky as hell! Think of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxey Lady” on steroids, and you’ll have a good idea of what’s in store for you when you hear the song. There’s also a companion live video for the song. And in the video I DO MY UPSIDE-DOWN GUITAR PLAYING THING. Ya gotta see it!! **IF YOU DIG IT, YOU CAN BUY THE LIVE JAM TRACK FROM THE VID FROM MY SNOCAP STORE! Also, I added TWO MORE videos. One is called “a little bit of my history”, in which I talk about some of the things that shaped me as a guitar player. The last new vid is called “Rocket Dreams”, a straight-up rock jam! Check out all three videos!
the ~lingo~ ate my baby	Jun 16 2008 6:34 PM there is a brew & que, combined with various lawn sports happening in approx two weeks. would love to see you, and perhaps create some harmonies, your brood is invited of course. miss you!!!
