WESTERN MUSIC ASSOCIATION HARMONY DUO CHAMPION 2006 Both Mark Holliday and Jake Holliday enjoy their own solo music careers and especially enjoy bringing their voices together in family harmony a few times throughout the year to sing the songs of the Old West. Mark was raised in Willcox, Arizona, where the influence of Rex Allen and local ranchers gave Mark a lifelong love for the open land, western music, and real cowboys. He has passed this passion for all things western on to his son, Jake. Together, these two sing about and live out the values that were taught by their western heroes: never take unfair advantage of others, always tell the truth, be kind and helpful to all, work hard, stay clean, respect God, womanhood, your parents, the law, and your country. They were awarded First Place in the Vocal Group Category at both the 2004 & 2005 Clifton-Vining Music Festivals in Clifton, Kansas. They were also awarded the Harmony Duo of the Year award by the Western Music Association in 2006 as Sons of the Konza Prairie. Listening to Mark & Jake Holliday brings back the days of cattle calls and finding time to connect with God on the trail.

To hear the music of Mark & Jake Holliday, go to MySpace John Ingram and I were judges at The Clifton Kansas Music Days the year we met Mark Henkel. I was very impressed with his talent and have watched him grow as he branched out and began appearing regularly at some of the better known festivals. Mark has added his handsome young son to the act and are now known as Mark & Jake Holliday and what an addition this young man is. Mark has a wonderful voice and his shows have always included Country, Western and Gospel tunes but with the addition of Jake Holliday playing the bass and adding his vocals to the act, this Father-Son Duo will soon be strong competition for the other duo-groups out there.
