Lucien Holmes has a good variety of acoustic influences in his delivery. He is at his best on guitar in rockabilly, pop-rock, country, blues, ballads, bluegrass and folk. His raw drive calls to mind his country heroes Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, while his gentler ballads echo James Taylor and Kris Kristofferson. His piano stylings have been called “Ray Charles meets Billy Joel.”

Still, he has the ability to bring a song home with the assertiveness of Tom Petty, Bob Seger or even the Beatles. His delivery shine in the storytelling of Gordon Lightfoot, the plaintiveness of Merle Haggard and the ambiguity of Bob Dylan.
