Resound Presents has announced a performance by The Holdup at Mohawk in Austin, Texas, scheduled for October 18, 2024. The Holdup is the musical endeavor of Michael Garmany, who hails from San Jose, California. Garmany has cultivated a dedicated fan base with his unique style of groovy, melody-driven pop music that incorporates elements of R&B, reggae, and hip-hop.
Despite often being mistaken for a band, The Holdup is solely Garmany's project. He takes on multiple roles in the studio, handling writing, producing, performing, and engineering tasks for all his albums. His music is characterized by catchy hooks and straightforward lyrics that have resonated with audiences nationwide. This approach has led to sold-out shows at notable venues such as The Roxy and El Rey Theatre across the United States.
Additionally, Garmany's work under The Holdup has achieved significant streaming success with over 150 million streams globally.
