Christopher Holt Album Release (Full Band Show) with special Guest Salim Nourallah

Christopher Holt

Dallas native Christopher Holt has enjoyed a wild ride in the near decade since his last solo album, 2016’s Stargazer, was released. During that time, the three-time Dallas Observer “Musician Of The Year” toured extensively as a guitarist/vocalist for Hall of Fame legends Don Henley and Max Weinberg, while releasing three albums of original music with the critically acclaimed Bastards Of Soul.

During the pandemic, Holt began a weekly online series called “Chris Holt’s All-Request Thursday,” initially as a way to generate money and keep his musical mind occupied. But as the series thrived and expanded over several years, so did his dedicated fanbase.

In 2022, Holt joined Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, spending the next several years recording and touring with another of his great musical heroes. And in early 2025, he accepted an offer to join the best-selling American band of all-time, the Eagles, for their history-making run at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Across The Milky Way

Across The Milky Way is Holt’s fourth solo album - written, recorded, and self-produced in his home studio in Dallas, while on a touring break in 2024. Featuring a dozen new original songs, performed entirely by Holt himself on every instrument, the album will be released on Idol Records in May 2025.

Holt will perform with a seven-piece solo band (his first in 15 years) on May 16 at the Kessler, offering a unique, one-night-only experience for fans old and new, as he shares a glimpse into his newly revitalized solo artistry.

Salim Nourallah

Salim Nourallah is a songwriter and singer whose resumé ranges from quiet ballads to rave-up rock. Nourallah first came to the public's attention in 2001 with the release of two very different albums -- Nourallah Brothers, a collection of intelligent and atmospheric pop songs written and recorded with his brother Faris Nourallah, and Self-Improvement?, the uptempo power pop-styled debut from Salim's other group, the Happiness Factor. In 2003, Salim also launched a solo career. Nourallah went on to release numerous solo albums as well as forming the Travoltas with local radio personality, Paul Slavens. He's won eleven Dallas Observer Awards - eight for Best Producer - and toured Europe multiple times. His latest record, A Nuclear Winter, is due out early next year with Marty Willson-Piper (the Church) co-producing and playing guitar.
