Join us for free live music from Daniel Holmes About Daniel Holmes Holmes learned his first lick on the guitar at 8 years old from his Papa, who showed it to him
Holmes learned his first lick on the guitar at 8 years old from his Papa, who showed it to him on his 1972 harmony acoustic guitar. Not long after, Holmes picked up his own guitar at the early age of 11 and began honing his skills along with his vocal talent, which he began fostering since he was old enough to talk. Now as a very accomplished guitar picker and singer/songwriter, Holmes prides himself with a unique sound and style. His father cleared the path for Daniel by pulling him on stage at karaoke shows and giving him fatherly advice to strive toward his goals and become a better singer. His whole family has been involved in music since the early 1800s. The family owns an organ/piano repair shop, had members belonging to one of the talented bands featured on the show “Soul Train” in the 1970s, and so much more. Daniel Holmes has had the opportunity to play many Texas music venues, popular nightspots, and dancehalls.
He started playing acoustically in hometown honky-tonks where he soon made a big impact. He became locally popular and then spread to the surrounding towns, with fans stretching all across Texas. Since, the Texas Country Music scene is one that Daniel Holmes has been largely involved in through the creation of his own unique brand and sound. Holmes has worked tirelessly to make an impact on those around him through his work as a solo acoustic artist, and frontman with his own self-titled full band. Although Holmes has played for crowds as large as 12,000 people, he still enjoys playing in local venues to his loyal listeners to this day. Holmes draws on personal experiences to create his own irreplaceable sound and pulls the unique styles of classic country legends such as Merle Haggard, Vince Gill, and Keith Whitley, as well as current red dirt influenced sounds like Whiskey Myers and Tyler Childers.
