Josh Holmes started touring and recording original music in 1998 releasing four CDs under his group name, The Josh Holmes Band, leading to thousands of CD sales.
November 2003 marked a change in the direction of Holmes when he released his first solo album under his own name, Josh Holmes, entitled, A Table 4 One. The launch was coordinated with a national radio market release. Sony Pictures/ABC network incorporated Josh's song “Greener On the Other Side” into the season finale of their series, Beautiful People.
