There’s something about Tony Holiday that draws people together. In fact, community has been at the core of Holiday’s young career from the beginning.

Since relocating from Salt Lake City to Memphis in 2017, Holiday has been at the center of a soul blues revival in Memphis, anchored by a contingent of young, savvy, well-schooled musicians with a “family-like” attitude and a strong belief in one another. Mentored by past legends, Holiday and this loose Memphis collective are building on the city’s rich traditions and carrying them forward.

Motel Mississippi, Holiday’s 2nd solo album, was recorded about an hour outside Memphis in Coldwater, Mississippi, at Zebra Ranch, the studio of the late great Memphis legend Jim Dickinson. Combining the sounds of North Mississippi Hill Country, Delta Blues, and Memphis soul, Motel Mississippi is equal parts hypnotic blues, driving soul, and juke joint stomper. The album consists of six originals and two covers: “Rob & Steal” by Paul Wine Jones and “Nobody But You” by Asie Payton.

Motel Mississippi began as a collaborative effort between Holiday, guitarist/songwriter A. J. Fullerton and guitarist/producer Dave Gross, who shared production duties with Fullerton. The album was recorded by Kevin Houston. Musicians on the album include Lee Williams Jr. (drums), Terrance Grayson (bass), Aubrey McCrady (guitar), Jake Friel (harmonica), and Mikey Junior (backup vocals).

Motel Mississippi follows 2020’s Soul Service (produced by Southern Avenue’s Ori Naftaly) and two volumes of Tony Holiday’s Porch Sessions, which featured a guestlist including Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby Rush, John Primer, Lurie Bell, Southern Avenue, Victor Wainwright, and John Németh. There’s something in the water in Memphis, and Tony Holiday has tapped into it to contribute to an exciting new chapter unfolding in this storied region.

Tony will be joined on this tour by award-winning blues guitarist LAURA CHAVEZ.
