Fantastic Music

The group of people in this band was fantastic and personable and interacted with the crowd. They were friendly and talked with everyone. The music was amazing and sounded much like the original bands. One of our guests stated that you just don’t hear music like that anymore. We will definitely use these guys again and highly recommend them to anyone that wants to hear good classic rock.

Hired as: Classic Rock Band

About

The Holt Twins harmonize and blend voices in a beauty and a closeness attainable when you are fortunate enough to enter the world identically! Senses bridge between two individuals to form one. Combine this with a talent to sing, compose, and play a variety of instruments, and you learn the meaning of harmony. Originally from Sinking Spring, PA, this unique act started performing when just teenagers and quickly became the most requested act in Berks County so much so that even 15 years into their performances they were requested to be the main act at Reading's Best Fest. As a duo they play the best in folk music- both contemporary and traditional and when there are kids around, they get them involved with rhythm instruments. Their performances are too many to name, but here are a few- Bethlehem Musik Fest, Haycreek Fall Festival, Pocono Mt. Jamborees, Hershey Park, Knoebels Park, Schuylkill Haven Borough Days, & University of Wisconsin.
Joining them for TwinSister are 3 talented musicians-
Rich Arteca, from Long Island, NY, has been with TwinSister since 1977 and has co-written some of their songs; Phillip Taylor hails from D.C. & Los Angeles with much studio & touring experience adding his impressive, beautiful vocals to the mix; Gil Oliver makes the band complete with his showmanship & expertise in drumming & also vocals. He has been in the music industry many years performing live on stage, touring the U.S., & doing studio work. He has played for many events opening up on stage for the likes of Pat Travers & Blackberry Smoke. His solid, driving meter gave him the nickname, "Gil The Pocket".
TwinSister with it's special brand of "Twin Rock" has entertained fans on the east coast in Rock and Roll Clubs, Teen Clubs, Campgrounds, Festivals, Universities, the major shore points of New Jersey, and throughout the Midwest. Their show is both Professional AND Entertaining. They have a great mix of classic rock & southern rock tunes, lots of instrumentation other bands do not have, both female and male vocalists & musicians....They Look Good, They Sound Great, and They Rock!....If needed, they also have their own pa system and light show. (they have a Bose system that sounds great outdoors!) TwinSister is not just a tribute band for ONE band- They are a Classic Rock SHOW Band that is a Tribute to EVERY Classic Rock Band that they cover. In 2014 they were "Best Rock Band" Winners in The Indie Music Channel Awards, 2015 "Best Easy Listening Band" & 2018 "Best Folk Group"in The IMC Radio Music Awards. They were 2017 Inductees into The Berks County Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and several of their songs have been featured on The "Indie-Talk" Podcast Shows & "Women of Substance Music" Podcast Shows.
