Holly and emma's revolution put their unique stamp on songs from Holly's repertoire


"... Artists often accept the consequences of a broken heart so that we might heal a wounded soul. Some paint, some dance, some write. We came to sing."  Holly


"... On this recording, the three of us have delved into these songs, each venturing back into her musical beginnings, passions and influences to create arrangements that sometimes even surprised us!  We hope you enjoy the ride."  Pat & Sandy
