Hi! I’m Steve Holloway, a drummer, percussionist, and bodhrán player based in Brooklyn, NY. For the past nine years, I’ve worked extensively with Come From Away — first as the original Broadway sub in 2017 at the Schoenfeld Theatre, then on the first national tour, several regional productions, recorded for the Apple TV live film capture, and the percussion book for the official MTI recording. And I've been developing the hybrid combined book for drums, bodhrán, and percussion.
I’ve played with loads of bands, shows, and musical artists over the years, and I also enjoy making music videos — some serious, others pretty silly. A bunch are posted here; more can be found on Facebook at Steve Holloway / Dude Video. Thanks for stopping by! —Steve
Come From Away drum booth, Northern Stage, White River Junction, VT - October, 2025
Fall 2025 update: I’ve been in White River Junction, Vermont this fall at Northern Stage, playing their excellent original production of Come From Away — once again doing double duty, covering both the drum and percussion books. It’s a task I first started developing in 2019 when I was the percussionist on the CFA First National Tour, and our drummer (my friend Ben Murrow) broke his arm in a bike accident about six hours before opening night in Detroit. I was already very familiar with the drum book from my time on the Broadway production, so the sound team moved my entire percussion rig from the stage to the basement drum booth, and I jumped in. The hybrid book has continued to evolve, most recently with the help of Sam Groisser during this past spring’s production at the Ogunquit Playhouse. Come From Away is the most produced show this season, and it looks like there are more in the works.
NEXT UP - The Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ, February 4 - March 1, 2026!
Spring 2025 update: The first regional production of Come From Away will be performed at the famous Ogunquit Playhouse in Ogunquit, Maine! It's an all new production, new staging, an amazing set…we just started rehearsals and I'm totally amazed at how good it is. The associate choreographer of the original Broadway productions, Richard Hinds is directing, staging and choreographing the show. If you get a chance to come to Maine between mid May and mid June, don't miss this! https://www.ogunquitplayhouse.org
