The Holdup
Tuesday, October 6 at Slowdown, Omaha
About this event
The Holdup brings a genre-blending music set to Slowdown in Omaha, with Ticketmaster listing the artist in reggae and the artist bio pointing to a broader mix of R&B, reggae, hip-hop, and melodic pop. The project is associated with San Jose, California musician Mike Garmany, whose studio work under The Holdup name has built a catalog of laid-back, groove-forward songs.
Who's playing
The Holdup is the project of Mike Garmany, described in public artist materials as a San Jose, California artist who writes and produces melody-driven pop influenced by R&B, reggae, and hip-hop. Ticketmaster’s artist listing places The Holdup in the reggae category, while the broader bio frames the sound as more cross-genre than a single-label act.
What to expect
Expect songs built around easygoing grooves, pop hooks, and reggae- and hip-hop-informed rhythms rather than a straight-ahead rock or traditional reggae presentation. The official The Holdup site highlights a deep catalog of albums and singles, including the recent “Buying Time: Pt. 1” material, giving the Omaha show at Slowdown plenty of recorded work to draw from.
Why go
The Holdup at Slowdown is a fit for Omaha listeners who like polished, melodic music with a warm low-end pulse and a laid-back West Coast feel. It’s a chance to hear a long-running independent catalog in a club setting without needing the music to sit neatly in one genre.
