Band History
Dallas-based singer/songwriter/musician Chris Holt has been writing and recording his own music for more than a decade. Beginning with his passion for playing guitar while in his teens, Chris spent his twenties becoming a multi-instrumentalist, and working with a wide variety of regionally successful bands, including Walter Mitty, Hard Night’s Day, and Olospo.
After more than a decade of live gigs with nearly twenty different bands, five album releases, and several stints of professional touring with Olospo, Chris was named the Dallas Observer’s Musician Of The Year for both 2005 and 2006. He also picked up an award for Best Instrumentalist in 2006. His first official solo album, the self-produced and performed "Summer Reverb," was released in May 2005. He is currently working with his new band, The Slack, finishing "Wishful Sinking", a brand new album of Holt-penned original material, and planning for a re-release of "Summer Reverb," all in 2007.
Chris currently plays with a variety of musical projects around Dallas, including The Slack, Salim Nourallah, Sorta, and Johnny Lloyd Rollins.
