Holy Carp is the Olympic Peninsula’s freshest new party band. They may be an irreverent bunch, but they are serious musicians, with decades of professional experience and countless tours with Grammy-winning artists between them. Holy Carp’s sound packs a punch. Their sets are a high-energy, groove-forward mix of classic covers and clever originals, spanning pop and rock to blues, jazz, soul, and country. Their first show, at the Uptown Pub in January, created significant buzz in and around Port Townsend. It’s only a matter of time before this homegrown, fun-loving band becomes a staple on the regional circuit.
