Brian Holland Brian Holland, having performed ragtime, jazz and stride piano for over 30 years, continues to be one of the most sought after artists in the country. Classically trained, but with a keen ear for improvisation, Brian’s approach to the piano is marked by a dynamic, driving style that has been described as clear as Waterford crystal. Beginning his musical existence at the age of three, Brian grew up living a “Ragtime Life.” His grandparents raised him to love all kinds of music; however, styles from the early 20th century became his passion. He quickly learned his way around an organ keyboard and had a repertoire of old standards that would shock most professionals - all before the age of six. It was then that he turned his attention to the piano.

  • To Read Jack Canson's Six-Part Series on the History of Boogie Woogie
    1 Marshall, Texas – The Birthplace of Boogie Woogie By Jack Canson This article, based on the original research of John Tennison, M.D., was published as a six-part series on May 30 through June 6, 2010 in the Marshall News Messenger, and subsequently in the Longview News-Journal and at easttexastowns.com Part One: Why Marshall, Texas is the “Birthplace of Boogie Woogie” On May 13, 2010, when the city commission of Marshall, Texas officially declared Marshall to be the ―birthplace‖ of Boogie Woogie music, many people were surprised to learn that this playful-but-revolutionary musical genre arose in our own back yard. Most people assume this jumping, percussive style of playing music was created in a noisy urban environment, a big city like Chicago, New Orleans, or Houston. Not so. Since the late 1930s, music historians have recognized that Boogie Woogie originated in the piney woods of northeast Texas. But until recently, no one had undertaken the research to identify as closely as possible just where in northeast Texas this exciting musical style was first played. This is the first installment of a series that will try to tell the story of how it was determined that Marshall, Texas is that place, literally the epicenter for an explosion of a new form of popular music that spread rapidly throughout the world. All the information in this series is drawn from the original research of Dr. John Tennison, a San Antonio psychiatrist who is also a respected musicologist and Boogie Woogie expert. Dr. Tennison maintains a noted website on the history of Boogie Woogie and is writing a comprehensive history on the genre.
