PERSON WHO INSPIRED YOU THE MOST AND WHY:
ANTHONY BURGER: HE TOOK THE TIME TO TALK TO AND ENCOURAGE A LITTLE BOY. HE WAS THE ONE WHO INSTILLED IN ME THE LOVE FOR SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM TODAY. HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST PIANO PLAYER, EVER, PERIOD.
PERSON YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE AND WHY:
Arthur Rice. Every time I see him and talk to him, he always has something encouraging to say. I remember at convention he came to see us at 1:30 in the morning, just to support us. Little things like that do not go unnoticed. I hope I can be as half as encouraging to young people as he is when I’m his age.
DISLIKES ABOUT THE ROAD:
Being the “picked on one” Being away from my wife and home.
WHAT MAKES ROAD WORTHWHILE:
Seeing the joy on people’s faces when we sing. (and play) Seeing lost souls come to know Jesus… that’s why we do what we do… period.
OTHER GROUPS YOU'VE SUNG WITH:
UNDER GRACE
FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY:
playing duets with Anthony Burger
SOMETHING YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU:
When I’m dead and gone, I want people to be able to say that Matthew Holt’s life was a “Tribute” to Him.
EMBARRASING MOMENT ON ROAD:
During group introductions, Joseph hit a button on my keyboard, unknown to me. When I went to kick off the next song, my keyboard went crazy… it sounded like a violin or something. After 10 minutes of laughing, we continued to sing. (and play)
