Holly has been a professional performer for over 10 years. In that time, she has learned a very important lesson: it's all about the audience. Her focus is always on the people she is entertaining, and how she will brighten their day. She walks in thinking, "I know they're going to love this, and I'm going to make them feel better by the time I leave!" Unlike many performers, she has a variety of costumes that suit her audience's generation, and wears a different one to each performance to get her audience in the spirit. Paired with a sunny smile and a cheerful disposition, Holly makes sure her audience is having fun!

Next, she sings music that her audience knows from their youth. She knows from experience performing over a thousand shows for residents all over the Cleveland area, that in cases of memory impairment, the strongest memories are the music heard and learned when you're young. That's why she's so popular in memory care facilities, for example. Residents in memory care may not recall recent events, but once Holly starts singing the music of their youth, they become transported and sing every word along with her! Sometimes the residents will share memories from their past, memories brought to life by the songs Holly is singing.

Holly loves giving back to her community by working mainly in senior living facilities. She continually sees the positive effect her performances have on the residents. She takes that joy with her and shares it with the next group. She says that it is a reciprocal fountain of joy that she is grateful to create and be a part of. Holly's energetic and often funny interpretations of songs are very popular. She knows how to get her audience involved, and is passionate about singing with them: She knows from research of the tremendous health benefits of singing, especially when singing together in a group.

Holly also sings for other groups and occasions, including private parties. She performs for women's and men's groups, VA activities and at the VA hospital, and has entertained during many fundraisers over the years, including benefits held at the Beck Center. Holly loves entertaining whether it's at birthday parties, singing patriotic and WWII era songs for our vets during the week of Veteran's Day and 4th of July, singing love songs for Valentines Day and anniversaries, some Irish songs for St. Patrick's day, creating a Holly Jolly Christmas with a mix of oldies and Christmas favorites, happy hours, and just for the fun of getting people singing for an hour or two at a time.
