Adam Wolff Trio featuring Rachel Holder
Adam Wolff is a swinging, soulful jazz pianist from San Diego, California. He played Crooners last year to a full house!
Adam Wolff: Piano
Rachel Holder: Vocals
Graydon Peterson: Bass
Reid Kennedy: Drums
Adam Wolff, jazz pianist, is originally from New York. Soulful, swinging, and inventive, he counts Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett among his influences. His trio performances add unexpected elements to well-known jazz material. Playing with vocalists is a pleasure, as every performance is distinctly different.

The Music of Brandi and Joni: featuring Rachel Holder
This concert event celebrates the music and friendship of two of the greatest female singer/songwriters of the past 60 years – Brandi Carlile & Joni Mitchell!
Rachel Holder: Vocals
Judi Vinar: Vocals
Benjamin Kelly: Bass
Nate Babbs: Drums
Lori Dokken: Piano, Vocals
It seems to make perfect sense that these two musical meteors have collided and now are sharing the concert stage together. Brandi and Joni both possess an authentic and pure vision in their lyrics and melody that cuts through any false narrative of writing and performing to possess fame. It’s about truth and connection.
In an interview with the BBC, Joni Mitchell said: “If you listen to that music and you see me, you’re not getting anything out of it. If you listen to that music and you see yourself, it’ll probably make you cry, and you’ll learn something about yourself and now you’re getting. something out of it.”
Rachel Holder is the perfect artist to present some of her (and our) cherished tunes by these two phenomenal female icons of the industry. Rachel possesses the same authenticity in her delivery and with each tune goes to a place where we not only see, but can vividly hear her connection to the deep, personal side of each selection. In each song, Rachel sees herself.
