Those who know and love gospel-drenched soul music know and love The Holmes Brothers. Originally from Virginia but based in New York City for almost
40 years, Sherman Holmes, Wendell Holmes and Willie “Popsy” Dixon create some of the most spiritually uplifting and down-right funky music today. The Holmes Brothers effortlessly mix soul, blues, gospel, R&B and
country into a sound Billboard described as “utterly astounding.” Their breathtaking harmonies resonate with a passion and conviction matched only by their superior musicianship. They’ve played with Peter Gabriel, Van Morrison, and Joan Osborne, and have gigged all over the world–even performing for President Clinton. Now they’ve joined the Alligator Records family, and their label debut — the inspirational, stirring and totally contemporary
SPEAKING IN TONGUES (AL 4877) – will amaze and delight everybody who hears it. “The Holmes Brothers,” said the Philadelphia Inquirer, “suggest holiness but breathe late-night juke joint air.”
