Preachermann makes worldwide debut with new project Holy Forest!

Great News: Ed "Preachermann" Holley makes his worldwide debut of a new song he sings on called, "Africa Calling" on the Gilles Peterson BBC Radio 6 Music Show (an international radio show). This is a side project he's working on called Holy Forest. Here's the link to the radio show: http://bbc.in/1iUkyYS

Holy Forest is a new musical project from songwriter and documentary filmmaker Jon Fine (Still Bill, Herbie Hancock’s Possibilities), who recorded an album over 3 years across the Gambia and several cities in the United States. “Africa Calling,” the lead single from the self-titled Holy Forest LP, pairs the virtuosic sounds of Gambian griot Tata Din Din Jobarteh (aka the Jimi Hendrix of the kora) with the robust vocals of Harlem-based singer Ed “Preachermann” Holley and horns from members of Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra on a song inspired by a trip to the Makasutu forest.

This is so awesome for Preachermann!! It's only the beginning for great things to come! Congratulations and best wishes on the new project!!
