"Holly Leer has an amazing voice and commanding presence that highlight her enormous talent. Perhaps one of the most entertaining singer/songwriters that I have heard in a long time Holly is giving old and new fans the best of what she has to offer." -- JC Online Magazine Drawing comparisons to Tracy Bonham, Alanis Morissette and Tori Amos, songwriter Holly Leer has been honing her skills in the Portland, Oregon music scene since 1999. A multi-instrumentalist and classically trained vocalist, she skillfully combines unconventional elements, like Native American flute or themes from Mozart, with mainstream instrumentation, resulting in a pop/rock mix that appeals to a diverse audience. And her voice refuses to be ignored. Able to be soothing and soft one moment, and loud and raucous the next, her vocal control and ability allow her to deliver dynamic and emotional performances that will keep listeners coming back again and again. Her songs run the gamut from beautifully introspective to angst-ridden, and touch on just about everything in between - love, anger, regret, and hope. So it comes as no surprise that her impressive debut album, Fire In My Bones, is a thrill-ride of emotion that will have you singing the infectious tunes for days after you've heard them. Since it’s release, several songs from the album have been getting airplay on several radio stations, over the airwaves, and online. Holly was featured in the New Artist Spotlight at JC Online Magazine in April 2008, and was also was chosen as a featured artist for July 2008 at Pongid Radio. She was a "pick-of the-week" on AmpEar, and was also on the playlist for the show Stroke the Goddess, both at WMHB 89.7 FM in Waterville, ME. She has also been featured on the shows Blue Jean and Biker Street at Radio Coteaux in Saint Blancard, France. In addition to radio airplay, her song "Hang On" was placed in a short film, and "Teach Me to Fly" was chosen to be included on a CD compilation for Music For Troops. Recently, the track "Wanting You" was featured July 2, 2009, on the FM102x Song of the Day Podcast, and the title track "Fire In My Bones" was featured on the internet stream of 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia for the month of August 2009.
