Clint Holmes is a rare performer who can legitimately be called one of the greatest contemporary entertainers of our time. While the concert stage remains the mainstay of Holmes’ career, he moves effortlessly between the worlds of music, television and theatre.
Whether headlining New York’s elegant Café Carlyle, Las Vegas’ greatest showrooms or performing with some of America’s most prestigious orchestras, Clint redefines the standard for vocalists. Every performance is an unforgettable experience as he performs selections from the Great American Songbook, standards from Sinatra’s legendary repertoire, contemporary classics or stirring original music.
Holmes’ career soared after the release of his hit song “Playground in My Mind” in 1973, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Currently, Clint can be found in the recording studio working on a diverse range of projects including his upcoming album, produced by Grammy-winning producer Gregg Field. He co-wrote the original show, “Comfortable Shoes” which premiered at the Papermill Playhouse and just completed writing “Just Another Man”.
In 2012 he premiered “This Thing Called Love – The Music of Cole Porter and Paul Simon”, co-written with his award-winning musical director and arranger Jeffrey Neiman, at Café Carlyle to rave reviews and the prestigious Bistro Award for outstanding new cabaret show in New York. It was followed by the critically acclaimed “Stop This Train”. Both shows were directed by legendary acting coach and director Larry Moss. He is currently the Artist-In-Residence at Cabaret Jazz at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas.
