-Clint Holmesโ€™ story unfolded as if written by fate, yet each turn was so unexpected and remarkably successful, it exceeded even his wildest imagination.
-Clintโ€™s father was an African-American jazz singer and his mother was a classically-trained British opera singer. Clint jokes, โ€œMy mom taught me how to sing correctly, and my dad taught me how to enjoy it.โ€ Despite being raised in a musical household from birth, Clint believes his musical journey really began when his father took him to an afternoon jazz jam session when he was just 12 years old. Clint later wrote about that life-changing experience in the song, "๐€๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‘๐ž๐ง๐๐ž๐ณ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ.โ€
-In May, 2026 Clint will celebrate his 80th birthday with a series of concerts called โ€œ๐‚๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ญ ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ: ๐ˆ๐ง ๐‰๐จ๐ฒ.โ€
-He has a new single, which he has co-written with Frankie Moreno, called โ€œ๐€ ๐†๐จ๐จ๐ ๐Œ๐š๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฐโ€ that includes the lyrics, โ€œIโ€™ve been a bad boy all my life, but Iโ€™m gonna be a good man now.โ€ It was released in December of 2025. It is Clintโ€™s first new solo release in 7 years.
-His original composition, "๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง," written after recovering from cancer, has become his theme song and an inspiration to countless fans who find courage in its message.
-A documentary on Clint telling his incredible story is currently beginning production
-His continually sold-out residency shows in Las Vegas at Myron's at the Smith Center (7 shows a year, including 3 Christmas shows)
-As a vocalist, he has recently collaborated on releases with Jeff Harnar ("Sammy Cahn: The Second Time Around") and DIVA Jazz Orchestra ("A Celebration of Maurice Hines: Tappin' Thru Life") which is climbing the NACC and JazzWeek charts
-In 2026, Clint has been working with a team of writers and producers to bring a revamped version of his autobiographical one-man stage show back to the stage.
-Las Vegas has embraced him as an institution, where he headlined at Harrahโ€™s on the strip for seven years & received numerous accolades, including multiple โ€œCasino Entertainer of the Year,โ€ & โ€œBest Singerโ€œ awards.
