Welcome to the Martin County Fair Web Site - Minnesota's Other Big Fair

Leader and front man of the most widely known and traveled band in America, Johnny Holm is the most entertaining entertainer performing today. The show is dedicated to the fans, and they do most of the entertaining. Mostly impromptu, the show moves with the speed of lightning and changes direction as soon as "the pied piper" notices a lag. "Never a dull moment" was never a more true description.

Surrounding himself with the finest musicians in the Midwest, the band rocks, picks, and thunders along for 3-4 hours, almost non-stop from the first song to the last laugh.

Millions of people have seen Johnny over the years, and millions of people have been part of his fantourage.

The band plays in most of the United States but most dates are in the 5 state upper Midwest area.

Ask anyone with a twinkle in their eye or a knowing smile about Johnny. They'll try and tell you all about the mayhem that masquerades as a rock and roll band.

Be hip most of your life, but once and a while, let down and "get down Holm fever".

In the fall of 2003, INPULSE launched one of the most celebrated debuts in a cappella history, breaking away from traditional conventions to define the term "Vocal Band." Having trained at world-renowned St. Olaf and Concordia Colleges in Minnesota, the group's high standards for vocal technique, execution, and musical integrity have won them numerous awards. Within six months as a professional ensemble, InPulse was named Grand Champion of the 2004 Rocky Mountain Harmony Sweepstakes in Denver, CO, where they also won awards for Best Soloist (Matt McDonald) and Best Original Song ("Obsession" by Marcus Hanson). The band took Runner-up at the 2004 International Harmony Sweepstakes Finals in San Rafael, CA, again winning Best Original Song. InPulse continues to amass praise with every performance having been selected for Mainstage Showcases at the 2007 National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) and Association for Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA) National Conferences - in Nashville, TN and Atlanta, GA, respectively. INPULSE was awarded Runner-Up for "2007 Band of the Year" by Campus Activities Magazine, making them one of the hottest, most sought-after acts on the college market today.
