“I was driving around listening to Wrecking Ball by Emmylou Harris. That was it. That was my moment of clarity... that was when I decided what I was gonna do with my life.”
Not two years from that day, Holly Nelson was named Best Female Performer at the 2003 Orange County Music Awards, where her song Masterpiece was also nominated for Best Song.
Her critically-acclaimed debut, Leaving The Yard, is highlighted by Holly's beautiful voice, insightful lyrics, and the impressive musicianship of Andrew D. Prickett on guitar, Elijah Thomson on bass, Richard Swift on keys, and Frank Lenz on drums.
Holly is currently writing songs in preparation for her long-awaited second album.
Holly Nelson supports many local people, small organizations, and large international charities with her generous donations of time and money. Philanthropy continues to be her main objective.
Whether it is just a few dollars a day to sponsor a child or a few hours of your time, we all have something to contribute.
