Holly Near coming to Columbia City Theater

The talented singer-songwriter will perform at the historic venue in South Seattle.

Holly Near has been singing for all of her 45 years. Having grown up singing folk, pop, jazz and musical theater she is not a traditional folk singer and much to everyone’s surprise, she does NOT play the guitar. her lyrics can be tender, humorous and inspirational as well as biting and challenging - and all the while she keeps it personal. Gifted with powerful voice and a love for entertaining, Ms. Near puts on a great show reflecting on the world in which we live, the complexities of love and integrity.

Joining her will be Tammy Hall, a remarkable force on keyboards. Her ability to cover a broad rage of type brings beautiful texture to the material allowing Holly to move seamless through folk, jazz and theatrical interpretations of the music.

Also in the lineup is Jan Martinelli, who has played bass with Holy since the early nineties, both on recordings and on tour. She is fiercely rhythmic as well as having a lyrical quality well suited to Holly’s repertoire.
