Originally a guitarist, Salt Lake City, Utah native Tony Holiday didn't pick up a harmonica until age 29, at the encouragement of John Nmeth. Years later, Nmeth's influence inspired Holiday to relocate to the heart of musical magic and join him as a resident of Memphis, Tennessee. Ironically, that discussion took place at none other than Nmeth's front porch, adding to the reasons that front porches are especially significant for Tony Holiday. Not only does he enjoy the cozy informality of making music on them, he's done some outstanding recording on those porches too. Studios simply aren't a necessity for the blues harmonica wailer when he's ready to lay some sounds down for posterity. He just meets his friends on their front porches, sets up his portable recording equipment, and gets down to business without the constraints of being inside a professional studio environment.
