Tony Holiday has a magnetic quality that brings people together—a unique force that’s been central to his rise in the blues scene. Since moving from Salt Lake City to Memphis in 2017, Holiday has become a key figure in the city’s soul-blues revival. He’s been at the heart of a vibrant collective of young, talented musicians who share a tight-knit bond. Under the mentorship of past blues legends, Tony and this dynamic crew are not just preserving the city’s traditions, but breathing new life into them, taking them to bold new places.
Tony’s 2023 album Motel Mississippi made waves, landing on the Billboard Blues Top 10 three times, and since then, he’s been on the road non-stop, with brief pauses to write and record with producer Eric Corne. As he preps for his highly anticipated 2025 release, the momentum continues to build.
Now, American Blues Scene is excited to exclusively premiere Tony’s latest single, “Twist My Fate,” featuring powerhouse singer Kevin Burt. “This song is about those pivotal moments in life when one decision can change everything,” Tony shares. “Singing it with Kevin was such a blast. His voice brings so much depth to the track.”
There’s something undeniably special about Memphis, and Tony Holiday has tapped into that essence, helping to shape the exciting new wave of talent emerging from this musical hotbed.
