Barry Holdship

Leaping into the music scene in the early '80s in Detroit, Barry formed the quintet Let's Talk About Girls with his brother Bill. The band was a huge regional success, garnering praise and awards all over Detroit and the Midwest. The band released its brilliant self-titled EP on Holdship's own Bad Axe Records

With his sights set on expanding his musical vision, Holdship and the band moved west to California, following his brother Bill, who had left the band to work for the legendary Creem magazine. After a few years, members of the band drifted back to Michigan, leaving only Barry remaining from the original lineup. Let's Talk About Girls' track on Melody Fair: A Tribute to the Bee Gees was actually a Holdship solo recording yet remains the final release under the band's name.
