Steve Holy on free stage at Stanislaus County Fair

            Turlock – Stanislaus County Fair officials are planning another fair bursting at the seams with free entertainment, including Steve Holy, an up and comer to the music scene.

            Steve Holy, known for hits like “Good Morning Beautiful,” “Don’t Make Me Beg,” “Blue Moon” and “The Hunger” will perform on Thursday, August 5, at 8:30 p.m. on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage at the Stanislaus County Fair.  All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

            “Steve Holy has the ability to smoothly blend 50s rock and roll, pop and hot country,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair.  “These qualities, combined with his personal touch to live concerts, are what have built a loyal following.  He is going to be a huge hit!”

            Steve Holy auditioned for Johnnie High’s County Music Revue, won a spot on the revue, and subsequently was named “Entertainer of the Year.”  Steve’s performances with Johnnie High won him a loyal following in Texas, along with a meeting with Wilbur Rimes (the father of LeAnn Rimes).

            Holy has established himself as an exciting presence in the music world. Although Holy’s roots are firmly planted in the traditional sounds of music, his vision is in the “here and now,” and he is poised to be an artist for the millennium.

            As of today, the lineup on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage includes:

  • 38 Special – Friday, July 30 at 8:30 p.m.

            Last year more than 225,000 people enjoyed the fair.  In 2002 and again in 2003, Modesto Bee readers voted the Stanislaus County Fair their “Favorite All-Around Event” in the Bee’s Reader’s Choice Awards.
