Music Experiences & Performances

I, Stanley Holland (a.k.a. 'Stan') have over twenty five years experience as a drummer, percussionist, and audio engineer for live sound reinforcement and recording in the United States and around the world.

I've performed in Japan, Korea, Canada, Spain, Hawaii, Guam, Singapore, China, Australia, Thailand, Okinawa, Mexico, Aruba, Saint Thomas, Saint John (U.S. Virgin Islands) and many U.S. states.

I was honored as one of the judges for the Guitar Center Drum Off 11', the World's Premier drum competition, along with co-judges John Georges (John Georges Studio) and James Murphy (Boston Blue Man Group).

Recently, I've been performing with several groups including:

The Backtrack Band, Boston's premier 50s', 60s', and oldies specialty band with three fantastic female vocalists.

The Adagio Big Band, a traditional big band featuring four outstanding vocalists. ABB's Frank Sinatra Tribute has been a huge hit.

Adagio Lite Band, which is The Adagio Big Band rhythm section, a few of the horns and vocalists.

Alan Whitney Jazz Quartet or Trio Alan is an incredible jazz guitarist and he features some of the finest jazz musicians in the Boston area.

Bees Deluxe, acid blues with Conrad Warre (from England) on guitar and vocals.

The Sax Factory, a serious five-piece saxophone section with rhythm accompaniment. This band plays some awesome (and challenging) arrangements.

Happy Jack, a contemporary country, classic rock, and blues band. Happy Jack features Bonnie Davies on vocals, Brian Davies on bass, and Doug Spitalny on guitar and vocals.

Rich and The Famous Band, an acoustic group highlighting a variety of music with Rich Dorato on guitar, Jim Rose on vocals and guitar, and Fred Boucher on bass and vocals.

Nancy Day Nancy is a superb vocalist, pianist, and entertainer. She has a heart the size of Texas and always gives her audience an 'uplifting, thankful, and blessed' experience.

Two Marks Jazz, with Mark Stanaford, Mark Michaels, and Steve Hershman.

The Jazz Disciples

B J Magoon & Driving Sideways plays a mix of Blues, Swing, Roots Rock, Americana, Rythm & Soul

From 2003 to 2011, I was the drummer for Lois Lane and the Daily Planets, a Boston-based classic rock, pop, rhythm and blues band.

For 22 years I volunteered as a drummer for services at Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and East Lexington, MA with Worship Leaders Jodi Ainsworth, Kathryn Baldanza, Dr. Jamie Hillman, and Alan Lowe.
