Review for Mark Kelly Hall and Courtney Holder:
Mark Kelly Hall addresses topics such as love, faith and the 70's, with an approach that is often humorous but always serious. He is originally from the Chattanooga area and now based in Nashville. His songs reflect the spiritual heritage of the Bible-belt South, combined with a lifelong fascination with American pop culture, and seasoned by his experiences in places far away from his native Tennessee. He performs an eclectic blend of acoustic folk/pop originals and favorites in a style that recalls James Taylor and Jim Croce, flavored with congeniality, personal insight, and a touch of country blues.

Courtney Holder delivers her original songs in a gutsy alto that dances and sparkles, lit from within by the fire of a youthful, fun-loving soul. Her style has been described as “Stevie Nicks meets Jewel with a Southern flair.” Sometimes she croons and at other times she belts out the notes, doing both with skill and passion. Despite her young age, her songs reflect an ambition to experience and express life with all its highs and lows. She is from Chattanooga and performs regularly on local stages, and has played venues in Nashville such as Tootsie’s and the Bluebird Café, and also in Florida and North Georgia.
