Two Righteous Musicians Spend Summer Vacation with NO PROMISES

We’ve spent the summer making music with two very talented dudes, who’ve added top notch vocals and superlative musicianship to our sextet. Noah Berry and Ken Holdt have been with us the past few months in rehearsal, in performance, in our new video (stay tuned!) and will be featured in our upcoming showcase performance at the ArtsMidwest Conference in Columbus.

Noah is a recent graduate of Northern Kentucky University, where he studied voice with our own Joshua Steele (who insists Noah was a talentless hack prior to beginning lessons with him). After a sterling collegiate career in NKU’s musical theatre program, Noah has been busy earning professional acting and music directing credits, as well as joining Josh as a featured soloist at Good Shepherd Catholic Church. He’ll return this fall to the national tour of THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY.

Freakish musician Ken Holdt joins us on summer break from his role as choral director at Sycamore High School in northern Cincinnati. Ken’s navigated his busy family life (three kids!), church music directing gig, assisting at a musical theatre summer camp, and playing for Foreigner (seriously) to make time to shame us with his extra-terrestrial sight reading and keyboard skills. A multi-instrumentalist with vast musical know-how, Ken has added exceptional value for us in the rehearsal room.

While only on loan for the summer, these two guys have seriously upped our game. We’re grateful for their time and talent, and hope you can catch them digitally and live in concert before they get back to the grind.

NO PROMISES is a Cincinnati-based professional a cappella ensemble bringing exhilarating vocals and breathtaking harmonizations to popular favorites of jazz, Motown, classical and adult contemporary music. Its members have performed across North America with theatrical tours, graced the stages of Broadway, fronted major symphony orchestras, and backed the likes of Jim Messina, Steve Winwood, Kenny Loggins and POCO. In their day-to-day lives, the men of NO PROMISES are clinical psychologists, social workers, theatrical talent buyers, real estate developers and working musicians with a passion for fine a cappella singing.
