Bio
Coming together out of the '90's performance scene in Calgary, Holliss & Associates have held down a 3-set all-nighter in a Calgary bar, headlined a poetry fest in Lethbridge, been booed (but not off stage!) at South Country Fair, and generally messed around the southern Alberta poetry/perfomance/music scene since their inception.
Fred's incisive, political and occasionally erotic poetry is complemented by Rich's current-event-charged freestyling and Rodney's stories of zombies, aliens and Elvis.
With Rodney's patented loop-sample distorted rhythmic & lead guitar sound stylings and Rich's street-rich sax playing, the result is a funky, jazzy, poetry experience.
Holliss & Associates were also the organizational core of the 2007 Elvis "tribute" cabaret, 'Dead Elvis' which featured poetry, performance, rock, roll, psychedelia, dancing girls and gospel.
