Holley Maher

"Holley Maher is a charming indie-pop singer/songwriter that displays a light-hearted spirit and unique sound. Her voice is reminiscent of Regina Spektor and Joanna Newsome, and you can’t help but to pick up the folk and jazz sounds she is so strongly influenced by. With the combination of Holley’s delicate voice and her raw and honest lyrics, it’s easy to see why she’s a stand-out musician. Her music will captivate you after the first listen and it’s her distinct style that’ll keep you coming back for more." - John Tumminello, Music City Unsigned

Holley Maher is based in Nashville, TN. She has released her debut EP "Odd Place To Be" in 2011. You can buy it on her store : http://holleymaher.wordpress.com/store/ , itunes or amazon.
