ROUNTABLE COLLECTIVE presents… HOLLY LOWE and TODD DAY WAIT

 

For many people, signing your first record deal with a major label like Mercury aged seventeen would seem like a dream – for HOLLY LOWE, it was a reality. But as her manager said at the time – signing your first record deal is only 1% of your career. Disillusioned and disheartened by the reality of the industry in those years, she decided to focus on what mattered to her more than fame and fortune – honing her craft.

Taking a hiatus from recording and touring her own music, Holly has carved a path playing piano and singing at the most prestigious events around the world, whether it be being flown in to play for Omani royalty, a vineyard wedding in South Africa, a golf course opening in the Middle East or the Cannes Film Festival. Born in London, raised in Scarborough, escaping to Europe and with music in the family it’s unsurprising that Holly set off for a life of musical adventure. Adapting to such varied contexts and events meant her already diverse musical range expanded further. Yet, even though it seemed to have been on pause for a while, the creativity never left her; percolating in the background as life experiences, love and philosophy were brewing something within her that would soon have to be released back into the world.

 


TODD DAY WAIT (USA)

“Todd is a Missouri native with an easy-going, good humored nature that will have you singing along faster than you know the words. We originally met while I was on a trip to New Orleans, and reconnected at Santa’s Pub in Nashville one Sunday evening. We talked of this and that, drank cheap beers and had a good time. He even mowed my lawn the next day. That’s Todd’s secret you see; he’s a good guy. So we showed him around downtown one nice fall day and he played us a tune in the shade of some pillars. A song about time, about being fine, the heart and the mind. “ – GemsOnVHS
