On Thursday, February 4, singer/songwriter Debby Holiday brings her show, "The Musical Menagerie of Debby Holiday" to Martinis Above Fourth. From her father's standard "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" to the music she grew up on, from AC/DC to David Bowie to Bette Midler, to her hard rock days, blues, and her dance music hits, it will be a night of music, song & laughter. Tickets for the 8PM show are $20 and are available at www.ma4sd.com.

Debby experienced every aspect of the music industry early on while growing up in Los Angeles. Her father, Jimmy Holiday, was a passionate and soulful artist, topping the charts with several of his own singles before going on to co-write such hits as "Understanding" by Ray Charles and Jackie DeShannon's "Put A Little Love In Your Heart."

Another standard "All I Ever Need Is You," turned out to not only be a top 10 single for Sonny and Cher - but also went on to be a huge country hit for Kenny Rogers and Dottie West. Naturally, this eclectic mix of music strongly influenced Debby's own unique and compelling sound.

Holiday broke onto the dance scene with her #5 Billboard summer anthem "Dive" in 2004. She followed that with her power ballad "Half A Mile Away", which shot into the Billboard Top 10, along with Debby's follow-up dance hit "Bring It On."

All of Debby's subsequent dance singles broke into the Billboard Top 20 including "Piece of My Love" & "Surrender Me" (with the incredible Tony Moran), and "Joyful Sound," featured in the hit show Sordid Lives: The Series from writer/director/producer Del Shores, starring Olivia Newton John.

Debby has written with a wide range of today's top songwriters, has shared the stage with legendary recording artists like Rod Stewart, Joe Walsh, John Waite and Kiss, and has appeared on several television programs including The View and The David Letterman Show. In 2012, Holiday completed a starring role in the film Blues For Willadean written by the award-winning, Del Shores & co-starring Beth Grant and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer from The Help.

Debby continues to pump up the volume - on the dance floors, live with her rock/soul band, and on TV, with several recent placements including The Office, How Do I Look, Dirt, The L Word, and The Pick Up Artist. Queer As Folk used two of Debby's tracks including "Dive" & "Half A Mile Away" in their episodic finale. In January 2015 her single "I Like You" with Grammy-winning Producer/DJ Tony Moran hit #5 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Her latest single "Lift" with Dirty Disco started climbing the Billboard charts March 2015.

Debby is putting the finishing touches on her new Double Album, Free2B (half rock/half dance), which is allowing her to fully embrace her two musical sides.
