History


Holm, a native of Minnesota, was inspired by Elvis Presley and the Byrds: pg 419  when he was growing up and, while in high school, was a member of a rock band. After Holm came to faith in 1965 at the age of 16, he desired to combine his music with his newfound faith. He started writing his own Christian songs around this time performing them in jails, churches and in street ministry. During the late 60s, Holm was a member of a Christian group called the Tri-Tones who made an album entitled I Saw the Light released by the Universal Audio Corp. He expanded his use of music while he was a youth pastor in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Holm's music eventually caught the attention of David Wilkerson, author of The Cross and the Switchblade, and became a part of Wilkerson's traveling crusades.
As a solo artist, his early albums for Zondervan and Impact contained worship songs done in a MOR rock style. During his time with Wilkerson, Holm became the front man for a group named Praise. Aside from Holm, other members of Dallas Holm & Praise consisted of Randy Adams (bass - replaced by Rick Crawford in 1980), Ric Norris (drums), Tim Johnson (keyboards), and LaDonna Gatlin Johnson (vocals). This group released the album Dallas Holm & Praise. . .Live (Greentree, 1977) which sold more than 600,000 copies and was the first Christian album to be certified gold.: pg 419  This album contains the song Rise Again which was one of the biggest radio hits in the history of Christian music. The song has the distinction of garnering a GMA Dove Award in 1978 for Song of the Year. Holm was awarded Songwriter of the Year along with Male Vocalist of the Year in 1978 with the group itself winning Mixed Group of the Year.
Over the course of Holm's career he has released 34 albums counting solo, with Praise or other artists. He has received a total of five Dove Awards as of 2020.: pg 420  Holm has also been inducted into the Texas Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2007) and the GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2012.
Holm was married to Linda until her death on December 30, 2023. They had been married for 54 years. Their children, both grown, are Jennifer and Jeffery.
