October 4, 2024Outstanding performance by a top notch singer!
Tege was the perfect addition to our fundraiser this past June. He tailored his set list to the type of event we were having and our attendees had wonderful feedback after the event. We definitely plan to have him back again.
I also saw him perform earlier this year at a local winery. He asked for request, and I was there with my 12 year old daughter and friends and they requested a Disney song. Instead of saying no, he took a few minutes to pull it up on his phone and learn the cords, then performed 'Let it Go'. Everyone was singing along! I was so impressed by his talent to learn a song on the fly, but that he took the time to make sure even the youngest kids had a memorable time.

About
Tege Holt is a rising country artist from Indiana, bringing a big sound, high-energy shows, and a style rooted in honest, feel-good country music. Drawing influence from artists like Luke Combs, Riley Green, and Drake White, Holt delivers music built for summer nights, loud crowds, and unforgettable live experiences.
Born in Syracuse, Indiana and later moving to central Indiana, Holt’s story starts early. At just four years old, he became hooked on John Mellencamp, specifically the song Pink Houses. By age five, he had his first guitar in hand, learning to play before he could even read. That early passion came full circle when he performed Pink Houses at the Hard Rock Cafe Indianapolis at age ten, and again in 2024, this time sharing the stage with members of Mellencamp’s band at The Vogue Theatre.
Holt began performing across Indiana at just 13 years old, gaining experience in bars and local venues while developing his sound and stage presence. What started with a $30 guitar at age five, quickly grew into something more. After forming a full band at the end of 2024, he hit the road hard in 2025, building a loyal following across the Midwest with high-energy performances and a sound that blends country roots with a rock edge.
That momentum led to major milestones, including winning 2025 Artist of the Year at the Josie Music Awards held at the Grand Ole Opry. His debut EP, Play the Part, has surpassed 240,000 streams, marking the start of a rapidly growing fanbase. In 2026, the band is serving as opening act for Charley Crockett and The Frontmen.
Now touring full-time, Tege Holt is focused on delivering music that brings people together. Backed by a band of standout musicians, his shows are built around big energy, strong musicianship, and songs that let fans step away from the day-to-day and simply enjoy the moment.
