Head Above Water Holly Spears Dec 4/5 – finished at 12:26am 2011 On my own In a sea of blank letters Don’t you see I’m sinking faster I don’t know What to say to make it better What can I say to make this better   Cause I can’t breath anymore I can’t see anymore…

Hey, friends! I just found myself moving back to the Nat on November 1st. I missed my community here; I’ve booked an every Wednesday at Nicholson’s Pub in Downtown Cincy town; and have been handed a pretty amazing band that I can’t wait to share with you! I look forward to going down to Nash…

The linked Music Festival on Oct 8th was a huge success. Holly got to sing a few duets with the band Blessid Union of Souls (led by her old musical mentor, Eliot Sloan). There was a great band line up all day long and the festival helped raise awareness and money for City Link (a…

I am sooo happy to announce we finished up recording the week of Sept 19th. Charlie added some great sounds on Keyboards/organ/ and the like Then Mitch added his awesomeness on great atmospheric sounds and mixed all 12 tracks. He’s sending everything off to the same Mastering Guruu that mastered our 5 song Christmas EP…

Will bring slippers tomorrow We’ve knocked out lead vocals (and doubles) on Heartache to Hope; Even Flowers; Identity; Where’d You Go; and Identity. Been…

Well, today honestly kinda started off a little rocky. The bass player that had been hired (the producer had never worked with him before) ended up not being the right fit. We are on an extremely tight schedule being that we’re recording 12 songs for this album in 3 weeks. So, we really need to…

WOW – today was kind of emotional. We worked on one of the 3 hardest songs for me to sing. I had to pray a handful of times for peace. My song “A Small Voice” makes me feel completely vulnerable and hits on a very sad part of my heart. At the same time, it…

Well today was the beginning of yet another dream come true. We started recording my album “Heartache to Hope” today at Sputnik Sound in Nashville (with producer Mitch Dane). “Heartache to Hope” started out as “A Beautiful Mess.” The original idea was to point out how we tend to dress up on the outside to…
