Mark Van Holmes
Speaking to my perennial dedication to a creative life, the albums cataloged here are a substantial portion of my recorded musical works. I am the primary songwriter for the majority of songs, with credits published as “Words & Music by Mark Van Holmes.” My publishing company, Jailbird Records, has published all my music since 1984, with the release of my 45 rpm, Giants Theme.
