The Holmes Brothers

Sherman and Wendell Holmes were born and raised in Christchurch, Virginia. Their schoolteacher parents fostered the boys' early interest in music, as they listened to traditional Baptist hymns, anthems and spirituals as well as blues by Jimmy Reed, Junior Parker and B.B. King. They both sang in the church choir.
