Editor's note

Greg Holden's straightforward songs and Chicago roots

A singer-songwriter whose debut 'The Lost Boy' connected through raw emotion and simple storytelling.

If you want to hear Holden at his most direct, start with 'The Lost Boy.' For something later that shows the same approach, try 'Home.'

Holden's music sticks with you because it doesn't try too hard. 'The Lost Boy' became his most recognizable song precisely because of its unpolished honesty, and that same direct approach shows up in later tracks like 'Home' and 'I Need An Energy.' He writes about personal reflection without dressing it up, which gives songs like 'Boys In The Street' their weight.

He released his debut album 'The Lost Boy' in 2007 and followed it with records like 'Whispers in the Wind' and 'The Outsider' over the next several years. His band included guitarist Scott Schoenbeck, bassist Jason Toth, and drummer Chris Jack at various points, and he's worked with other artists including Sarah McLachlan and John Mayer.
