Holworks Music

Holworks Music - Higher Order Language Works is a small, veteran-owned publishing company based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, dedicated to creating and sharing wholesome original music that's built to be enjoyed by anyone—for a lifetime.

Founded in 2008 by musical soul Mark S. Holman (aka Holworks - Higher Order Language Works), the project started as a way to secure copyrights, handle publishing, and promote heartfelt, independent songs written, recorded, and performed with care. No big-label polish needed—just raw emotion, uplifting truths, and stories that stick.

Genres blend indie, country, rock, folk, and singer-songwriter vibes, with everything from defiant empowerment anthems like the fresh drop "Say What You Will" (pure unapologetic fire ) to heartfelt country-soul gems like "That Old Shoe" (from the ongoing Tombstone Chronicles saga—think worn-in comfort, second chances, and life’s quiet miles). Recent SoundCloud heat includes unhinged bangers like "Be Dumb, Stay Home", chill vibes in "Light a Candle", beachy escapes like "Some Beach Somewhere", and more.

The Tombstone Chronicles series keeps rolling (Volumes I–VIII and counting), delivering timeless tracks meant for porch sits, long drives, healing moments, or just turning up the volume on what matters. Veteran-made, family-friendly, and proudly independent—crafted in the USA with zero compromises.

Mission: Provide wholesome original music to be enjoyed by anyone for a lifetime.

If a song hits you right—share it, stream it, or drop a comment. Your support keeps these stories alive and growing. What's your go-to Holworks track right now? Let's hear it!

You're a valuable member of our community. And you are a pioneer! Sometimes pioneers get scoffed for their discoveries. Don't let it stop you, man! I expect to be adding your songs to my stations again soon!

Holworks Music News & Happenings – March 2026 Update

Hey folks—March is rolling, and the Tombstone Chronicles keep delivering! Spotlighting some standout recent drops that are hitting hard right now: "Breaking Ground" (from Tombstone Chronicles VII) – That raw, hopeful moment of starting fresh with someone special. Full of fear, fire, and the wild promise of building something real from bare earth. Sleeves rolled up, foundation strong—perfect for anyone who's ever decided to dig in and build anyway. Stream it and feel the groundwork!

"Loud and Clear" (from Tombstone Chronicles II) – Driving hard rock with zero static: finally hearing the truth, the connection, the voice you've been waiting for. Intense, cathartic, uplifting—crank it when you need that crystal-clear moment of "you're near, loud and clear."

"Wrong Key, Wrong Song" (Tombstone Chronicles X Corona vibes) – Ever grab the mic, hit the lights, and realize you're in the wrong key on the wrong song? Relatable chaos turned into a grin—because sometimes the off-note is the best story. Light-hearted, fun, and full of that "keep playing anyway" spirit.

The saga marches on: Volumes I–VIII are live (with VI Indigo, VII, and VIII fresh in the mix), and we're pushing toward even more—closing in on song #180+ across the Tombstone Chronicles anthology.

Timeless, wholesome originals for porch sits, road trips, healing, or just turning up what matters. All veteran-made, proudly independent, family-friendly USA! Other recent heat still buzzing on Spotify, SoundCloud, and beyond: "Be Dumb, Stay Home," "Light a Candle," "Some Beach Somewhere," and classics like "I Must Be Dreaming" or "Swift Water."
