It wasn’t that long ago that singer-songwriter Jett Holden had given up on a career in not only country music, but music entirely. Luckily, the desire to give up on his dream came right around the time Holly G, founder of Black Opry — an organization, tour and now record label celebrating and supporting Black artists in roots and country — stumbled upon his music online.
“I found the first verse and chorus for ‘Taxidermy’ and asked if he planned on finishing the song,” G says. “He told me he wasn’t sure, so I got him a grant to finish and record that song.” She reached out to Rissi Palmer, founder of the Color Me Country Artist Fund, and sent her the first verses of “Taxidermy.”
Moved by Holden’s painfully earnest songwriting, Palmer awarded him the funds to complete the visceral song, setting him off on the journey he’s on today.
