  • Bio

    Sony Holland is a warm, inviting performer whose unaffected style has endeared her to a growing circle of fans. As Dr. Mike Metheny of Radio IO Jazz says, “Sony Holland delivers passion and elegance through every phrase...The voice is warm, full and engaging. Sony is becoming a favorite request from our world wide listening audience." Born in a tiny town north of Minneapolis, Ms. Holland has toured Asia, performed in prestigious jazz festivals and in premier nightclubs such as the Blue Note, Yoshi’s, Catalina’s, the Dakota, the Rrazz Room and many more. Yet catching one of her live performances one gets a feeling that the best is yet to come. Her upcoming CD ‘Sanssouci’ features Sony backed by an organic trio of acoustic guitar, upright bass and djembe drum. About the title track she says, “It is a wonderful song written by Rufus Wainwright. Sanssouci refers to a summer palace built by King Frederick of Prussia in 1745. Both the song and the palace bring to mind a certain glorious despair, a sense of grandness and loss at the same time...I certainly have an understanding of those dual emotions."

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE  ...

    "You will find as you look back upon your LIFE

    that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED

    are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS

    in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."

    ~ Henry Drummond

    THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.

    WHAT IS SACRED?  OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?

    WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH

    DYING FOR?  THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.

    ONLY LOVE.

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP ...

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE ...

    "If I thought I was going to DIE TOMORROW,

    I should nevertheless PLANT A TREE TODAY."

     ~ Stephan Girard

    A MAN HAS MADE A BIG STEP TOWARD DISCOVERING

    THE MEANING OF HUMAN LIFE WHEN HE PLANTS SHADE

    TREES UNDER WHICH HE KNOWS FULL WELL HE WILL

    NEVER SIT.

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WINTER ...

    "WINTER is the time for COMFORT,

    for GOOD FOOD and WARMTH,

    for the TOUCH of a friendly hand
     
    and for a TALK beside the fire:

    it is the TIME FOR HOME.”

    ~ Edith Sitwell

    ONE KIND WORD CAN WARM THREE WINTER MONTHS!

    Merry Christmas Sony!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" ...

    Potter, the banker, has given a speech to the Board of the Building and Loan, referring to the working people of Bedford Falls as a "DISCONTENTED LAZY RABBLE."

    George Bailey responds, defending his late father, Peter Bailey, and the working people whom he championed.

    "... he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? ... You...you said...What'd you say just a minute ago?...They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait! Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken-down that they...Do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars?

    Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that THIS RABBLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ... THEY DO MOST OF THE WORKING AND PAYING AND LIVING AND DYING IN THIS COMMUNITY. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. PEOPLE WERE HUMAN BEINGS TO HIM, BUT TO YOU, A WARPED FRUSTRATED OLD MAN, THEY'RE CATTLE.  Well, in my book HE DIED A MUCH RICHER MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!"

    ALWAYS REMEMBER, NO MAN IS A FAILURE WHO HAS FRIENDS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
