Biography

Portland, United States

Holcombe Waller is an American composer, singer and performance artist. He lives in Portland, Oregon, and has performed across the United States and Europe, both solo and with his ensemble, The Healers.

Holcombe has self-released three albums of varying styles. His work first received international attention with his 2001 album Extravagant Gesture. The indie album was lauded by a Spin Magazine review,[1] and in REVOLVER Magazine Ann Powers wrote, “For melodic sweep, the prize goes to Holcombe Waller, whose self-released Extravagant Gesture is a small pop epic.”[2] Holcombe’s pop influences shifted towards folk for his 2005 release, Troubled Times. The work continued to receive broad critical attention including a positive review in Paste Magazine and a large editorial feature in BUTT Magazine.[3][4]

Since Troubled Times, Holcombe has focused on commissions for multidisciplinary performance, dance scores, collaborations, and film scores. He has recently completed “Into the Dark Unknown,” an album of music from his touring theatrical folk concert by the same name. The album has posted for public release February 15, 2011.

Early life

Holcombe was born in Stanford, California. He lived in Palo Alto until the age of 18, when he moved to Los Angeles to record a solo album, never released, with a now-defunct upstart label. At 19, he moved to New Haven, Connecticut as an undergraduate student at Yale University.
