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), 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, Americana, and singer-songwriter vibes. Recent highlights include the smooth psychedelic grooves of “Peace Be With You”, the rally-inspired “They Are Crowning You” from the ongoing Tombstone Chronicles X - Corona, plus fresh Corona chapter cuts like “Duty Free”, “Corona Symphony”, “I Broke a String”, and “I May Not Get The Chance”—songs full of real-life reflection, defiant spirit, and quiet wonder.

The Tombstone Chronicles saga (now well past 180+ tracks across Volumes I–X and beyond) keeps delivering timeless pieces meant for long drives, healing moments, porch sitting, or turning up when the truth needs to be heard.

Veteran-made, family-friendly, proudly independent—crafted in the USA with zero compromises.

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

Hi Mark, I love your music and your productions. We just got back on the grid this morning. Everything has been crazy here with the ice storms here in central Wisconsin since last Wednesday.

They're all working just fine now! I'd visited numerous other pages and checked their songs just to make sure before I posted that too.

XXX= Songs NOT Playing! =XXX
ONLY the 1st one at top of page plays "properly". All the others, I have to open the song page and click on the top player. The regular site player shows no song "length" and will not play. So, radio stations here at IMP will "stall" whenever your song appears.

Ok, all of you have convinced me to be here. I feel the love. It is way more than I deserve. I just sing stories I hear. That might mean I am crazy. Thank you!

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 – April 2026 UpdateHey folks—April is blooming, and so is the music at Holworks! We're staying true to our roots with wholesome, heartfelt originals made right here in the USA by a veteran-owned independent publishing company. No big-label gloss—just real stories, raw emotion, and songs built to last a lifetime.New Drops This Month:“Peace Be With You” – Smooth psychedelic 60s grooves with a calming, reflective heart. Let the peace signs swirl and the music wash over you—ideal for chill moments or deep thoughts. Visualizer is live!

Watch/listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbA9hzlqnWY

What's your favorite part? Let me know below!

“They Are Crowning You” (from Tombstone Chronicles X - Corona) – Acoustic Americana with a marching beat and overlapping voices pulled straight from the rallies. While the crowds chant “No Kings!”, the cameras keep rolling… and someone new steps into the spotlight. Real events, real questions: when one crown falls, who’s next in line? Full video here: https://rumble.com/v77udcq-they-are-crowning-you.html

Tombstone Chronicles X - Corona is underway
The saga continues with fresh tracks rolling out from Volume X. This chapter dives deep with:“Duty Free” – Stripping away the extras and getting to what really matters.
“Corona Symphony” – Layered, atmospheric vibes that paint a bigger picture.
“I Broke a String” – That raw, honest moment on stage when everything shifts (midnight lights, crowd fading, and one broken high E that says it all).
“I May Not Get The Chance” – Straight from the heart: naming the years of songs poured out, the quiet wonder if the big stage will ever arrive, and the stubborn choice to keep singing anyway. For anyone who’s ever chased a dream that hasn’t opened the door yet—this one’s for you.

These new pieces join the growing chronicle (now well past 180+ songs across Volumes I–X and beyond). Standouts from recent volumes include “Say What You Will”, “Some Beach Somewhere”, “Wrong Key, Wrong Song”, “I Must Be Dreaming”, and the full Aura chapter with its gentle acoustic soul and spiritual uplift.Stream the entire catalog anytime:Bandcamp: https://holworks.bandcamp.com/
Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, ReverbNation, YouTube Music, and more

What’s coming next? More from Tombstone Chronicles X - Corona, plus fresh stories crafted for long drives, healing moments, porch sitting, family listening, or turning up when the truth needs to be heard.

Which track is speaking to you right now—“Peace Be With You”, “I May Not Get The Chance”, “They Are Crowning You”, or another favorite from the Corona sessions?
