Episode notes

Nigel Holland is a founder of the world class band Evil Woman “The American ELO.” The Electric Light Orchestra, known around the world as the “Premier Orchestral Rock & Roll Band," pumped out many great hits in the 1970’s like Can't Get It Out of My Head, Strange Magic & Evil Woman. There was no other band quite like them. They combined the beat of disco thumpers, outlandish space-age iconography, triumphant classical orchestral arrangements, and gentle, intricate harmonies influenced by the Beatles.

In this podcast, Nigel discusses:

• Why they are called the American ELO
• What should we expect at an ELO concert
• What attracted him most to the Electric Light Orchestra music
• Who were his musical influences
• What Success principals he feels contribute to his success
• What makes Evil different than other bands in your same genre
• Why they chose to go with the name Evil Woman and what does that iconic ELO song mean to him
