"Check out our FEATURE ARTIST - Steve Holy. Have I mentioned how much I love this guy? We're on a mission to bring him back to where he should be on the charts. Talent like this should not be overlooked." - Jenn
“Good Morning Beautiful” was the song that made the country music industry and fans alike stand up and take notice of the youngest of eight children, a good old down home boy from Texas, Steve Holy. The song was the jewel in the crown known as the country charts for five consecutive weeks in 2002 and made Steve Holy a must have name in any country music fan's music collection. Things haven't been easy for Steve since he was first noticed at the 1993 Johnnie High Country Review in Dallas Ft. Worth, TX, which also happened to coincidentally be the same place that kick started LeAnn Rimes' career. Four years later, after what seemed like a lifetime of hard work, sweat and the sheer determination and will to make people notice what he had to offer, Steve got the long awaited record deal that most artists only dream of and was signed by Curb Records. His debut album, "Blue Moon", was released three years later in 2000. Despite his success with several Top 20 songs, Steve didn't make his mark until "Good Morning Beautiful" hit that #1 sweet spot, nearly 2 years after his debut cd, "Blue Moon" was released. The song made such an impact with fans that it was named Billboard’s #10 Top Country Song of the Decade for 1999-2009. In 2006, Steve released the upbeat "Brand New Girlfriend." Fans loved it and they loved Steve. They pushed and even though it took 36 weeks to get there, it made it to that #1 spot and made people fall in love with him all over again.
In the time since he released "Brand New Girlfriend", Holy has kept his patience, dedication and faith in his talent and released his third cd entitled "Love Don’t Run" in the fall of 2011. This cd title may talk about love not running, but neither did Steve. He didn't give up, he didn't lose faith in himself and above all, didn't let situations and circumstances make him bitter. Just as the song says, he wasn't backing down from a fight. He teamed up a second time with producer Lee Miller, whom he gives credit for the success of “Brand New Girlfriend.” Miller is a three time Grammy-nominated songwriter for “You’re Gonna Miss This” by Trace Adkins, Jamey Johnson’s “In Color,” and “The Impossible” by Joe Nichols. He also wrote the #1 Brad Paisley hits “The World” and “I’m Still A Guy”. Holy and Miller wrote several songs together for "Love Don't Run", including the playful new single “She Hauled Off And Kissed Me,” along with Jim Collins as well as the inspiring and confidence building track, “Let The Sun Shine In,” which shows Steve's versatility as an artist and his ability to go from one side of music to the other seamlessly.
"Love Don’t Run" is a project in maturity for Steve and shows once again just how talented he is and how strong he is not only musically but personally. The title track was an instant hit with listeners and radio alike and only increased his fan base. The song was Steve's first top 20 hit since "Brand New Girlfriend", peaking at #19. His follow up single, "Until the Rain Stops" charted at #59.
For the past couple of years, Steve decided to take some time off to return to Dallas and enjoy being a dad to Ava and Ella, his two young daughters. “It was time for me to go home, be a dad, regroup, and come out when I felt like I was able to put my best foot forward musically,” Holy says. Well, that time is now. Steve is on the road and in a different city most nights, charming audiences nationwide with his music, his humor and his genuine "boy next door" personality. His new single "Hauled Off and Kissed Me" is making strides to be his next smash hit, reminiscent of "Brand New Girlfriend". The response to the song is positive, crowds love it, and radio stations are beginning the process of adding it to their rotations. If there was ever a time for Steve Holy to finally make his mark again and make it last, this is it. Fans are loving him, new fans are tuning in every day and Steve is more than ready and determined to do what it takes to make it happen. “I think part of what motivates me, what gives me drive, is that I’ve been so close throughout the years to breaking out and getting on a roll,” Holy says. “More than anything, I feel like I have a lot in the tank and I want to go as long as people want to hear me. And I think there are a lot of people that want to hear what we have coming next.”
