Holt dominates DOMA – Sorta too!

/in /by

Welp, in true badass fashion – our own Chris Holt (also of Olospo and solo stuff) won Musician of the Year AND Best Instrumentalist at this year’s Dallas Observer Music Awards.

Congratulations Chris!!

From Chris’ myspace blog:
Wow…in between strikes of the giant hammer that keeps pounding my head in the form of a vicious hangover, I’ve come to realize (again) that you fans are the greatest…I am so thankful that you guys showed enough support for me and the band to give me another two awards last night. I honestly felt like last year’s Musician Of The Year win was a freak fluke…the awards show equivalent of the one-hit-wonder…but now that you guys have given me a second round of praise fills me with the highest gratitude. Musician Of The Year and Best Instrumentalist?? Damn…I’m not sure I deserve both of those…but I’m not gonna refuse them…what an incredible honor. I’m also really happy for Salim and Sorta and Woodbelly…it was like all of our friends finally got their due. Thank you so much to everyone who voted, and for sticking with me and the band for so many years. Despite my current state of nausea, I feel great, thanks to all of you. Stay tuned for more music…there’s a lot more on the way.

Our Drummer Trey, who also plays in Sorta helped carry home the award for “Best Act Overall”. Long time coming for those Sorta boys. Congrats.

So everyone come out to the Cavern tomorrow and buys these guys a beer, then watch them prove why they are so deserved of such honors.
