Who's Holdin': Bio

Who's Holdin'

Who is.............WHO’S HOLDIN’?

Hailing from Santa Cruz, California, this band, consisting of five good friends since their high school daze, came together to create an energetic ultra addictive sound!

Beginning in August of `98 when Ian McDonough (vocals/guitar) and Zac Farmer (drums) started playing covers and writing quality music together. Soon after they were joined by Rich Nettleton (bass) to form the traditional, but exceptional, three piece band. They played numerous gigs and continued to work on original material. One unusual night, Troy Tano stepped in on the horn and backup vocals and brought a whole new dimension but there was still one thing to add… After hearing a demo and receiving a call from the other guys, local guitar mad man Matt Harris became an intricate and pivotal member of the band.

Now having a huge sound and enormous amounts of inspiration, they combined to write new songs and fine tune the existing material.

"Who's Holdin' energizes the surroundings wherever they play. With their solid, stuck in your head tunes and addictive sound, these guys are definitely a band to hear and see!"
