Clint Holmes
Biography
Named Atlantic City's Entertainer
of the Year three times, the multi-talented, charismatic Clint Holmes is
an American Treasure. Audiences continue to recognize Clint as 'The Entertainer'
they come to see and hear. He is currently under a multi-year contract to
headline at Harrah's Las Vegas Casino & Hotel and recently was voted
"Best Singer in Las Vegas."
Clint's first break came when
Joan Rivers invited him to be her sidekick and announcer on the now defunct
"The Late Show." This was followed by a two-year stint on "Entertainment
Tonight," for which he served as their musical feature and event
correspondent.
Although his visibility was greatly
enhanced by those roles, it wasn't until he landed his own Emmy-winning
talk/variety show on WWOR-TV that it all came together for Clint. New York
at Night featured celebrity guests from the worlds of film, TV, theatre and
music. Clint, in his dual role as host and singer, had the opportunity to
showcase the full range of his talents as he performed, interviewed guests,
and interacted with his audience.
Born in England, Clint is the son
of an African-American jazz musician and a British opera singer. When he
was eight, his musical indoctrination began with his mother teaching him
classic vocal techniques at home, while his dad showed him how to scat-sing
in the jazz clubs. Clint admits it was the best of two musical worlds. Today
he says, "My mom taught me how to sing correctly and my dad taught me how
to enjoy it."
After high school, Clint was a
voice major in the highly regarded music program at New York's Fredonia State
College. He did well in music and began his career performing in Buffalo
nightclubs.
Eventually, Uncle Sam called and
Clint willingly joined the Army. Selecting the music program, he served as
a trombone player in the Army Band at the combination Army/Navy music school
in Norfolk, Va. He lobbied for a chance to sing and got his wish, performing
"Alfie" at a promotion ceremony for his commanding officer. Alfie was the
name of his C.O.'s mother. Clint was called in and promoted three ranks to
sergeant and kept on staff as a singer.
Later, he was transferred to
Washington, D.C. where, as a member of the Army Chorus, he sang at the White
House and at many state functions. He spent 10 years based in the nation's
capital, building a club career up and down the East Coast. It was during
this time that Clint met Brenda, his wife and the mother of their three children,
Brent and twins, Brittany and Cooper. Clint and family have enjoyed the
advantages of living on both coasts. Las Vegas is now home but their friendships
span the Americas and Europe.
Among his various recordings,
Clint had a "Top Ten" smash hit, Playground In My Mind (My Name Is Michael).
His audiences are always surprised to learn Clint was the voice in the popular
Lowenbrau commercial (Here's to good friends...). His newest album, "Clint
Holmes Live!", was released in March 2001 and is available for purchase after
Clint's show at Harrah's.
Clint is one of Prince Albert's
favorite entertainers, and jets off to Monte Carlo every summer at the Royal
Family's request to appear at the Sporting Club, Hotel Paris, and other hot
spots. His sizzling performance has taken him from London, Germany, and Italy
to Las Vegas, always leaving his audience wanting more.
Clint Holmes has won many prestigious
awards, including:
Best Singer in Las
Vegas
Las Vegas' Best-Kept Secret
Buffalo, NY Musical Hall of Fame
Casino Legends Hall of
Fame
