Christina Holmes recently released her second album, Stand Up, a soundtrack of social injustice and change. Locally based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, Holmes travelled to Standing Rock, North Dakota, in October to deliver supplies and help the Sioux Tribe and others protect the waters of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers from the Dakota Access Pipeline. Her album cover and title, as well as the first song on the album, reflect her experience there. The other nine tracks on Stand Up show a journey through her soul of happiness, social consciousness, spirituality and loss. Her music can be streamed on SoundCloud.com/CoveHouseRecords.

Holmes will be touring in July with Australian artist Xiaver Rudd, whose music embodies spirituality, social change, self-consciousness and the beauty of the soul. This is Rudd’s North American tour which includes tour dates in Canada as well as in the New England region, including July 10, New York, New York; July 11, Brooklyn, New York; July 12, Boston, Massachusetts; July 22, Portland, Maine; and July 23, Fairfield, Connecticut.
