Singer-songwriter Jerome Holloway grew up the quiet child in a lively Kalamazoo home. Journaling and song writing became outlets for recording his innermost thoughts and emotions. He tranplanted to Chicago after college, where he started performing at open mics in 2006, and eventlually began headlining some of the more prestigious acoustic venues. Holloway calls his work "soul music because it aims to capture and convey a feeling which, I hope, touches the heart." www.jeromeholloway.com
