"Sony's voice, charisma, and stage presence transported our audience to another era. Her renditions of Dusty's classics were spot-on, and she evoked all the emotion and nostalgia associated with those iconic songs. We've received many requests to bring Sony back for an encore performance. An unforgettable evening of music and memories." Stephanie Whigham, Tabard Theatre Company Marketing Director
"There were two fantastic takeaways from this sold-out show at Feinstein’s at the Nikko. Sony Holland delivered the goods - a stunning tribute to Dusty Springfield, the blue-eyed soul icon who is much deserving of recognition. Like Springfield, Holland crosses genres from pop, rock, folk, and jazz.The songs “Angel of the Morning,” “You Really Got a Hold on Me,” and “To Love Somebody” brought back the era of the big Phil Spector sound. The cool, jazzy “Spooky” was right in Sony’s wheelhouse, as were the Bacharach/David “I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself,” The Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody,” and “How Can I Be Sure." Steve Murray, Cabaret Scenes Magazine
Dusty Springfield was an icon of the Swingin’ Sixties. She studied film and fashion to create her look… with the blackest mascara and the beehive hairstyle. And that voice… Burt Bacharach said of Dusty’s voice, “It was restrained. It was held in check, but underneath it was smoldering.” Dusty was soulful and she had a thing for Motown and R & B. I think that was the music that truly inspired her. Quentin Tarantino featured Dusty’s recording of SON OF A PREACHER MAN in his film PULP FICTION. This introduced her to a new audience. Her record, DUSTY IN MEMPHIS, is listed in Rolling Stone’s greatest albums of all time. In the 60s Dusty hosted several television programs on the BBC and became one of Britain’s biggest stars. She recorded and sang a variety of songs throughout her 40 year career including many you'll remember. Dusty inspired artists like Annie Lennox, Adele and Amy Winehouse. She became an icon in the gay community and was a passionate voice for civil rights. Her fiery personality and pursuit of perfection led her through extreme peaks and valleys. Through it all, she created an unforgettable musical legacy. Please join us for a night to remember.
