Artist Name:
Holding Out
Hometown:
Portland, OR
Formed:
2003
Genre:
Rock / Blues / Pop
Bio:
Holding Out is a musically diverse band of rock, pop,
and blues influences combined with an incredible
blend of powerful vocals. They have a sound that is
appealing across many age groups; while many
younger audience members greatly enjoy the
excitement of the band members’ on-stage antics,
older crowds are pulled in with finely crafted
harmonies and relatable lyrics. This band’s willingness
to have fun while addressing the important issues of
life and music is what makes their reach into different
audiences so unique. With their creative blend of
musical styles and techniques, Holding Out is creating
something new that people can really invest in. Their
willingness to be honest and real through their music
creates an atmosphere that makes audiences feel like
they are a part of the show and leaves them wanting
more.
One of the newest additions to the Portland scene,
Holding Out is making a name for themselves in this
incredible city of music. It would seem that their ability
to appeal to the broadest of audiences has no limit.
They continue to wow with every performance, and
their reputation as an excellent band to see live has
continued to grow since the first time they stepped on
stage. This band has everything that it takes to change
the world with music.
Holding Out has independently released two albums;
the first (self-titled 'Holding Out') in 2005 and the
second ('Live') in 2007. Now, with a new sound and a
new purpose, the band has been writing new songs
for a full-length studio album set to be released in
early 2009.
