Holly Havis, Holly has been a musician since the age of four when she was composing and performing on the piano. She plays 21 instruments. After receiving a B.A. in Piano Performance at the University of New Hampshire, she earned an M.A. in Ethnomusicology at the University of Washington in Seattle and a Ph.D. in Music in Higher Education at New York University. While living in New York City she performed her compositions at various venues. She performed in bands and was a studio musician.

Upon returning to Amherst, MA she moved in with John and learned to play the electric bass so they could play together.

Currently, in addition to playing with John and teaching, Holly is busy performing solo keyboard at small venues such as restaurants and art shows. She plays an eclectic mix of obscure jazz standards, her own compositions and improvisations based on a huge variety of styles and cultures. She also performs a solo concert of classical piano music annually.
