Holt Vaughn

Grammy, Gold Record and Dove Award-winning friends join Holt on "These Songs, Vol. I." As singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist, Holt trades licks – acoustic and soaring electric – with one of the most admired guitarists in modern history, 7-time Dove Award winner and 2-time Grammy nom Phil Keaggy. And Holt swaps solos with Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section guitar hero Will McFarlane (Bonnie Raitt, Joss Stone).

You’ll also find 3-time Grammy winner Ashley Cleveland lending her soulful voice, and Grammy-nom/Dove Award “Producer of the Year” Ian Eskelin adding backup vocals. Gold Record bass players Rick Cua and Jerry Livingston join in, with Grammy Nashville veteran Tony Morra and Ted Reinhardt (Spyro Gyra, Gamalon) on drums. Art Halperin, (who’s shared the stage with Eric Clapton, Santana, and Joni Mitchell) makes a cameo on mandolin.

These Songs, Vol. II, again finds Holt Vaughn recording with a notable musical tribe. “Muddlety” brings him together once more with 2-time Grammy nom Phil Keaggy. “Good Company” says it well as Holt and hall of famer Will McFarlane play and sing soulfully. Jason Webb, who’s performed with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Steven Tyler & John Legend, beefs things up with some B3 and piano. Vicki Hampton (Garth Brooks, Thomas Rhett, Dolly Parton) adds her crazy-good voice. Bass royalty includes Gary Lunn, Rick Cua and Jerry Livingston. And on drums, Grammy Nashville veteran Tony Morra and beloved Ted Reinhardt. For complete credits, see holtvaughn.com.
