About Malcolm

Sure. There are the inevitable comparisons to Tom Waits, but that's mostly due to Malcolm Holcombe's dark blue minstrelsy, delivered in a burned up voice and from a fate that'd have him be quiet. Certainly, both artists are poets, one quite famous, one not so much. But Holcombe is, if we can remove it from the parlance of down playing for the moment, what Waits will never be thanks to the homogenization of the big label / MTV / big box super store: a regional bard and hero.

Holcombe's very song-making essence is the soil, rock, river, tree, and mountain of Weaverville, North Carolina, a mountain town sitting in the shadow of Asheville, and surely influenced by the insurgent / revolutionary goings on at Black Mountain College, late by Holcombe's boyhood. And not unlike fellow North Carolinian and dark horse brother Tom House, Holcombe has carved out a voice of the place from whence he comes. A musical landscape where all themes lead to home. (In this same way, as his uniqueness is rooted and revealed through traditional structure, Holcombe is brothers in arms with a duo of Texas' best known troubled troubadours, Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt, but his delivery is more akin in respects to that of Vic Chesnutt.)
