Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Evening Kris & everyone. Nice to be home in my bed after being out the last six nights at gigs and not getting back till late for me as I’m usually asleep by 11. I’ve got no regrets. It was a fantastic week of music.

Knowing I was going to get home crazy late on Saturday night(After 3AM), I wasn’t able to hang around after the HGT/Eli gig and bailed during the shared encore. Eli’s band was working hard as they played straight through with no set breaks.

I haven't listened to the Wildare Express LP in a while.

Matt from New Orleans:

Have to say Kris that the Harlem Gospel Travelers blew Eli out of the water. Eli’s a pro but I’ve seen him a bunch over the years and while the setlists mag change there’s a general vibe to his shows and it sort of feels like autopilot to me. There was an excitement and unpredictability to them.

I haven't seen Eli live since maybe 2010, so I think it'll be fresh still for me. Looking forward to it.

That’s a nice long gap. Had been a while for me before I saw him this summer and I enjoyed the set back then more as it was fresher and he was looser that day as he was thrown by the location of the gig in a plaza near an entrance to the subway. I was really going for the HGT so he was a bonus. Shame I couldn’t stay to see more of the encore but my ability to last another three days necessitated it.

Great Andy Williams JAMMER! Flavor Dave and I would play this and the Earl Grant 45 frequently. (Back to back.)
