Bio: I have been playing music since December 25 1998. Up to this point I could barely play a radio. My wife Amity & son Zarek got me a guitar for Christmas that year. Since then I have been playing at the local church that I attend and every jam session I can find. I guess it was just that, Jesus wan... See Full Bio

“Jack Holt ya gave me a real lift sitting way down here in El Salvador listening to the music from way up north...yep bluegrass....I am sitting here with a smile on my face for no other reason than listening to your uplifting up tempo bluegrass.. thanks..........ALOT..”

“Jack, some of our fondest memories are of the times you and some of your fellow pickers saved the day at the Merry-Go-Round when a scheduled band didn't show for one reason or the other. God has certainly blessed you with talent and the willingness to share it. Bobbie and I look forward to this spring when we will, once again, be back in the Blue Ridge to hear you play and sing.”

— Sam Ward, Facebook Message

“Sounds Great !!! Jack , I can hear WPAQ 740 am sometimes down hear!! I live about 40 miles south east of Monroe NC. I love it,We hace WIXE 1190 am out of Monroe ,they Old country and Blue grass on True and Sat!!!! Man ya'll are lucky to have that radio station up there!!! I shared some of your tunes on my FB page!! I have done gotten some likes and great comments ”

“Jack, my Friend, Junior Graham, said that you and your loyal buddies (once, again) saved the day at the Merry-Go-Round. Junior said that (as usual) it was a great show. Wish we could have been there. ”

“Then for the final hour and one-half, WPAQ Master of Ceremonies, Brack Llewellyn, solicited a group of local musicians who were playing in the street (as they frequently do) to fill in for the missing band. Led by Jack Holt, this impromptu band of seven musicians was introduced as the Mt. Airy Cut Ups. They all performed spectacularly, as if they had rehearsed specifically for this performance. Special mention must be made concerning the youngest member of the Mt. Airy Cut Ups. Thirteen year old Jackson Taylor, expertly picked many of the breaks on a borrowed guitar. I hope I got his name right, but it doesn’t matter. Anyone who can play as well as he does at age thirteen, will be well know in the near future. He was on a camping trip and visiting Mt. Airy from Gastonia, when he asked to join the street musicians. He was then asked by Jack Holt to be a member of the Cut Ups. All things considered, my buddy was right For us fans, there is no way this could have been better.”

“Jack Holt & the Sandbox Boys from Mt. Airy, North Carolina entertained the crowd. Members are Jack Holt, Eric Marshall, Ben Marshall, Bruce Mosley and Crystal Shipley.”

— Tim White, The Pickin Porch Show

“The bluegrass group “Jack Holt and Friends” entertains throughout the afternoon at the first ever Double Creek Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department Car and Truck Show.”

— Dean Palmer, The Pilot

"Sam Ward" Jack, My wife, Bobbie, and I brought a couple of friends to the Merry-Go-Round Saturday. They had never been there before. When we left the Earle for a late lunch, the couple (real bluegrass fans) said they were astonished at the art and quality of the performance of Jack Holt and the Sand Box Boys. Actually, that was all they talked about during the meal and all the way back to Max Meadows, VA. It was a pleasure to be in the audience and experience the expertise and enthusiasm that was exhibited by the group you organized from the very start of the show and which continued even after the live broadcast was over. All members of the band played exceptionally well, all sang (except for Ben) with great talent and gusto. Hopefully, Eric can work something out for Ben to sing at his next appearance. Talent certainly runs in that family - as it seems to be present with all your group. Thank you for a great bluegrass experience.

“A great picker and singer. We love to see and hear him perform.”

— Sam Ward, Facebook Message

“Jack, We have seen and heard you at the Cinema in Mt. Airy several times and enjoy your music. Hope to see you again. Particularly enjoyable is the old-time bluegrass "flutter" that you employ appropriately when picking. It is also worth mentioning your willingness to you join Tim Chadwick on the stage in times of need. Thanks for being a good guy.”

— Sam Ward, Facebook Message

“Holt, who is a 40-year-old father, said he had been singing his whole life, but that God had led him a new direction with his singing—one where he wanted to spread the word of the gospel to others. “I just want to spread the gospel, if anything comes of it, I give all the credit to Jesus, in and of myself I’m nothing, whatever comes of his will, will be,” he told me.”

— Erin C. Perkins, Mount Airy News

“Jack Holt’s performance of a classic country gospel song transformed the competition into a concert as the audience, including the other contestants, sang along in unison.”

— Erin C. Perkins, Mount Airy News

“Bobby Locke, the producer and creator of the show Talent Search TV “We liked that he played guitar and sang,” Locke said of the Holt, who sings part-time and works full-time as a water plant operator in Thomasville. “On the vocal side of things, all his notes were right. He had a steady quality.””

— Erin C. Perkins, Mount Airy News

“When Jack Holt took the stage in front of a crowd of more than 40 that piled into Hillbilly Country last weekend, alongside TV producers and cameras, it was hard to tell he was nervous. He was grasping his guitar confidently in his hands and belting out tunes like he had done it professionally for years. His rendition of an old gospel classic had the crowd singing along in unison, and earned him one of the largest ovations of the night. Contact Erin C. Perkins at eperkins@mtairynews.com or 719-1952.
