This Portland, Oregon-based artist returns to Spinning On Air to present new songs with his ensemble The Healers providing colorful accompaniment on strings, French horn, piano, banjo, and more. Holcombe speaks with host David Garland about his music and his recent theatrical concert at The Public Theater, "Into the Dark Unknown: The Hope Chest."

You were playing some cool solo piano music about a half hour ago. I got called away to deal with an allegedly drowning child and by the time I established that he wasn't, you'd already announced it. what was it?

Great show tonight! Great to hear Holcombe Waller and Ben and the others on the air. I've been a fan since I knew them in college. It's great to hear Holcombe's music and know that he has found a wider audience over the years! Thank you for hosting him!

Beautiful music. I see by the Flickr page that the french horn player also plays the Hohner Melodica. I played both the french horn and Melodica over 30 years ago. That Hohner has a lot of possibilities...

I saw Holcombe Waller and The Healers at The Public Theatre last month, January. It was both a beautiful visual and audible treat. Thank you so much for presenting it on Spinning On Air.
