Joe Holt....

Joe Holt is an improvisational pianist, with a unique and diverse musical background. A graduate of Glassboro State College (NJ) in the 1980s, and a student of Yoheved Kaplinsky, he has built his musical expression on this classical foundation, with a commitment to his own improvisational performance. At hundreds of events each year, Joe performs primarily as a soloist, but has also performed with his own trio, and established jazz groups, both in the Mid-Atlantic region and throughout the US in concerts and jazz festivals. In addition, Joe is a board certified music therapist (MT-BC), serving seniors in dozens of communities in PA, NJ, DE, and MD. He has also served in the roles of musical director and producer (for theatre, performing artists, and in the recording studio) and in music ministry (most recently as Worship Arts Director for the Chestertown (MD) Church of the Nazarene, from 2003-2006).
Joe is active in recording, appearing on over 20 albums, 6 of which are on his own label. He also performs weekly for "Joe Holt's Notes on the Radio" - heard (locally) on WKDI 840am, and through his website.
