ORIGINS…
Acting on a vision from the LORD, guitarist and singer Rick Holmes formed HOLY SMOKE in 1997. From the beginning, the band has played music to glorify GOD, spread HIS Gospel and live the Christian life. HOLY SMOKE’s passion for JESUS, people and music has kept that original vision alive.

MINISTRY…
HOLY SMOKE is a Baltimore, Md. based Southern-rock, blues-laced band of Christians that is “Fired Up” for JESUS. They play anywhere and everywhere the LORD directs. The members’ musical talents are exceeded only by their desire to reach people with the message of salvation, not only through their music, but also in how they live out their daily lives. This message is delivered with meaningful lyrics and high energy performances.

People young and old alike, leave the concerts knowing that JESUS is LORD and SAVIOR of their lives-and they can live enjoyable, fulfilling and even fun lives!
