VIDEO FOR SINGLE “HOLD ON TIGHT” NOW STREAMING HERE

Following on the heels of his sold-out show at New York’s Le Poisson Rouge, singer and songwriter Greg Holden has announced a series of upcoming shows, including a spring tour with Sire recording artists Delta Rae that launches on April 9^th in Philadelphia, PA. Prior to that, Holden will perform at this year’s SXSW festival (including at the Warner Bros. Records showcase), and a show at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles on March 24^th.

Holden is touring in support of Chase The Sun, his upcoming debut for Warner Bros. Records, which will be released on April 14^th. Produced by Greg Wells (Adele, OneRepublic), Chase The Sun is filled with Holden’s passionate, purpose-driven rock songs, which brim with tough, vibrant energy and showcase his lean, literate songwriting. Watch the Chase The Sun album trailer here.

For the premiere of the video of the album’s first single “Hold on Tight,” the New York-based Holden promoted International Random Acts of Kindness Day 2015 by teaming up with Brent Lindeque, founder of #RAK15, whichencourages people to perform one random act of kindness, film it happening, post the video on social media, and challenge friends to do the same. With its “pay-it-forward” theme, the “Hold on Tight” video shows how one small random act of kindness can spark another – a theme that resonates perfectly with the message of #RAK15’s global initiative. Watch the video here.

Holden has earned a name for himself as an independent artist for the last several years, releasing two albums, 2009’s A Word in Edgeways and 2011’s I Don’t Believe You. His song “The Lost Boy” – a poetic rumination inspired by a Dave Eggers’ novel about a Sudanese refugee – hit No. 1 on iTunes in Holland and raised over $50,000 for the Red Cross. Within two weeks of being featured on Sons of Anarchy, “The Lost Boy” sold 30,000 downloads in the U.S. and debuted at No. 36 on Billboard‘s Rock chart. Holden also earned recognition for writing the massive hit “Home” – the debut single for American Idol winner Phillip Phillips that sold five million tracks in the U.S. and earned Holden an ASCAP Pop Award.
