Facebook/ un fan du groupe The Point, un des premiers bands de Kelly Holland.
back
in 89, i was taken to a local bar. the infamous mad monk. i was new in
town and didn't know a whole about the place or talent. the night i go,
the local band "The Point" was playing. at the time they were doing
about 50-50 covers vs originals. i walked out of the bar that night a
fan for life. i was drawn immediately to the lead singer. he had the
perfect lead singer charisma. knew how to play
an audience and could sing with distinction. i never missed a show
after that night. as they became more confident the original songs took
over. the songs they wrote were incredible for a local unsigned band. to
this day, i still listen to a demo tape they made.they became the talk
of the town and the hottest ticket. big headling bands were booed of the
stage, to bring back The Point from opening. after deciding to call it
quits after a few years, the lead singer went and joined CRY of LOVE.
they immediately got a record deal. they made several videos, had a
number of hits and toured the world. today that lead singer, kelly
holland, passed away. a true loss to the music world. rest in peace
kelly, thanks for the many, many memories.
