The Holdup
About This Event
The Holdup brings San Jose reggae-rock—threaded with hip-hop and indie touches—to Mercury Lounge, where the club’s close quarters put rhythm and vocal phrasing in the foreground. They share the bill with Cydeways, a reggae-leaning rock solo artist whose live approach favors groove and direct song structure, and Dylan Reese, a band-forward rock/pop songwriter with an emerging Spotify profile and roughly 21,000 followers. The lineup favors tight ensemble interplay and steady grooves over spectacle.
