![GREG HOLDEN'S I DON'T BELIEVE YOU [8.5]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3670586_lg.jpg)
Despite his Scottish roots, Greg Holden's (@gregholden) latest release, I Don't Believe You , is imbued with a deep Americana sound and lyrical folk influences. With palpable sincerity and transparency, Holden sings of the struggles that accompany being a musician, uprooting your life and moving to the greatest, but at times loneliest, city on Earth. A barrage of intricate guitar arrangements and vocal harmonies accompany these sentiments, giving the album a heavier sound than 20092s A Word In Edgeways or 20102s Sing For The City. The music is undeniably reminiscent of the classic Laurel [...]
![GREG HOLDEN'S MOONLIT PERFORMANCE [HONEY I'M HOME SESSION]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3612123_lg.jpg)
As evidenced by his 2011 LP I Don't Believe You , Brooklyn dwelling UK-native Greg Holden is a captivating and enchanting artist. His material manages to tip toe the line between heartfelt ballads and brutally realistic folk jams, resulting in his music's wide spread appeal. I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to film with him just two weeks ago. It was a beautiful evening in Brooklyn, so we took to my friend's rooftop where Greg Holden was joined by Dan Molad (drums) and Jess [...]

The Holidays are presently keeping pace with the rest of the year, just buzzing by us, on our way to a new year.

In case you missed it, check out our review of his gig at Martini Ranch with Ingrid Michaelson here . [...]

Greg Holden @ Martini Ranch We loved Greg's set. Like his digital recordings, we found his vocals to be clear and strong. He can really belt out his self written lyrics and strums the guitar just as boldly as he sings. It was evident from the start that Greg had a knack for pleasing the girls and, at one point, in the set, one of the girls yelled out from the small but sold out show, " I want to kiss you", to which Greg quickly responded, "how old are you"? After all [...]
Ingrid Michaelson is everything you could want in a performer. She's funny, personable, witty, and above all, extremely talented. She surrounds herself with an equally talented group of individuals whose camaraderie is apparent from the moment they take the stage. Part of that talented group is UK singer/songwriter Greg Holden , who opened the evening with a handful of songs from his new EP Sing for the City . Having recently moved to New York, his love song to the city, "She's Got Something," was an audience favorite, as well as a sing-a-long [...]
