At the heart of his music is collaboration, best captured in his acclaimed Porch Sessions, which took Holiday across the U.S. and Europe recording artists including Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby Rush, John Primer, Victor Wainwright and John Németh on porches, outside juke joints and wherever the music happened. His 2025 album Keep Your Head Up earned Blues Blast nominations for Contemporary Blues Album and Sean Costello Rising Star, building on a career that included a 2018 International Blues Challenge semifinal appearance with Tony Holiday & the Velvetones.
His career has taken him around the world with the Alan Parsons Live Project, Sugaray Rayford and Tab Benoit, while his own music has established him as a formidable blues-rock artist in his own right. His 2024 album Standing Out Loud debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Blues chart, following the Blues Blast-nominated Live From the 805.
A gifted multi-instrumentalist, his 2024 album Brick By Brick puts that range on full display, moving from blistering electric guitar to lap steel, Dobro, banjo and cigar-box guitar without ever losing the blues at its core. Soars won the 2009 International Blues Challenge and Albert King Guitar Award and has since earned multiple Blues Music Award nominations, including B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Band of the Year.
After years as a sought-after guitarist, musical director and collaborator with artists including Candye Kane, Nikki Hill, Vanessa Collier and Chickenbone Slim, Chavez stepped forward in 2026 with her instrumental solo debut, My Voice, letting the guitar tell the whole story. In 2023, she made Blues Music Awards history as the first woman ever to win Instrumentalist – Guitar, one of the highest honors in the blues world.
Fronting The Biscuits, he has built a distinctive, road-tested sound around sharp songwriting, deep grooves and a catalog made largely of his own material, taking the band from stages across the U.S. to Europe. His album Serve It To Me Hot won the 2022 San Diego Music Award for Best Blues/Jazz Album, and in 2026 he was named Best Blues Artist at the San Diego Music Awards.
