“We went for a sunset walk down by the marina and the weather was perfect. We could see people hanging out on their boats, playing music, and we started talking about how we couldn’t wait to travel again, and how we wished we could hop on a boat and just escape,” the trio shared. “We know people have been through a lot, mentally and financially, so we wanted to write a song that could be the brain vacation we desperately needed. That we could bring everyone along on.”
Holiday State’s previous single releases have been featured on key playlists including Spotify’s New Music Nashville, Apple Music New in Country and Apple Country Hot Tracks. The brothers, who are known for blending a fresh sound of Country/Pop/Rock and R&B, have opened for acts like Seaforth, Logan Mize, O-Town and Sammy Adams.

ABOUT HOLIDAY STATE:
Hailing from Orange County, CA. Holiday State exudes Pacific Coast ease along with Southern charm blending a fresh sound of Country/Pop/Rock/and R&B. The trio of multi-ethnic brothers grew up in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. Raised by parents that encouraged creativity, faith, and family values, music was abundant and provided a constant influence, resulting in the brothers showing passion for music at a young age. The brothers grew up listening to a mixture of genres, while all were fans of Country Music, Brandon was specifically drawn to R&B/Hiphop, Brett, Pop & Disco music, and Bryan, Punk/Rock & Alternative. Their love for country music grew further when they discovered Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson, and Keith urban, which resulted in them going line dancing weekly and experiencing the epic Stage Coach Festival in Indio, CA. The siblings come from a musical family, including a long line of dancers and singers. Their father, from Honolulu, Hawaii, instilled in them their Hawaiian culture, as well as their grandmother, who along with her sisters was a professional hula dancer for many years on Oahu. Each brother brought their individual musical tastes together and put them into one sound, creating the sound the brothers are known for now. They’ve released seven singles, “Friday Feelin,'” “Steal the Thunder,” “Sun Up Sun Down,” “Cut Me Loose,” “Where I Wanna Be,” “Lay Low” and most recent release “Not Today.” In February of 2020 Holiday State was the supporting act for Logan Mize on his “I Ain’t Gotta Grow Up Tour” for select dates and have previously opened for multi-platinum recording artists ‘O-Town’ as well as Seaforth and have played various venues in Southern California. In 2017, they were direct support for Sammy Adams on his National “Seniorits Tour”, performing throughout the Southeast. In 2018 the brothers came to Nashville where they wrote and recorded new music with producer Andy Sheridan (Major Bob Songwriter, founder of ‘Charlie Horse Productions’ and Music Director for artists Hunter Hayes and Ben Rector) They also recorded with producer Tyler Cain (Big & Rich, Darius Rucker, Billy Currington)This was the start of a new musical journey. The brothers continue to write and record new music and perfect their live show. They hope to play at a city near you in 2021.
