Blues Music Award winning producer Andreas Werner first met The Holmes Brothers at a concert in Zurich, Switzerland in 2004. Years later, he reconnected with Sherman Holmes at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2019, reigniting a friendship and creative partnership that has only deepened since. 

Drawn to Holmes' musical history, personal depth, and philosophy, Werner assembled a stellar team of collaborators to help capture the essence of the man and bring his artistry to new audiences -- including Grammy-nominated songwriter Mark Narmore, The Blind Boys of Alabama, The Funky Chester Rhythm Section, and "The Honorary Holmes Sisters" - Catherine Russell, Joan Osborne, Amy Helm, and Ada Dyer - and more.
