Sean Holt

Sean Holt currently performs sax, keys and vocals as the associate music director under Michael Bearden in the “Ese Vatos” band on the “Lopez Tonight” show with George Lopez on TBS.

Sean uses HERCULES alto/tenor sax and flute/clarinet stands DS532B and DS538B.

“From music to microphones and keyboards to saxes, secure stands are a must on the set.  I trust the solid build of Hercules products for all my gear. ”

Sean was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana.  This area of the country, famous for it’s rich musical and multi-cultural heritage, allowed Sean to develop his uniquely expressive vocal and saxophone sound. 

On growing up in the south: “My influences were vast and varied.  I had no idea how fortunate I was to be surrounded by the blues, gospel, and jazz artists of that region.  Music was everywhere and all consuming in my life. It was largely an internalized extension of the lifestyle.  You didn’t study it, you just digested it along with the food, customs and stories of the older generation.  I was singing gospel hymns at the age of three, learning piano at 6, and discovering my love of saxophone at 12 years old.  In that part of the country, it was possible to begin performing with the best players at a very young age.  And it was during that time, I began to create my inseparable approach to singing and playing the saxophone.”

Shortly after relocating to Los Angeles in 1989, Sean received his master’s degree from USC and began playing in local clubs and festivals.  During his career, he’s performed on saxophone, vocals and keyboards with artists Carlos Santana, Slash, Kenny Loggins, Jeffrey Osborne, The Neville Brothers, Charlie Wilson (Gap Band), Michael McDonald, Beth Hart, Arturo Sandoval, George Clinton, Carl Anderson, Tyreese, Michael Bolton, Michael Buble, Michael McDonald and numerous others.
