John Dee & Fris
John Dee Holeman was born April 24, 1929, in Orange County, North Carolina, and was raised on a small family farm. He first heard blues at house dances and country gatherings in the African American community. He began picking guitar when he was 14 years of age, quickly learning the Piedmont tunes he heard his uncle and cousin play.
Blind Boy Fuller was immensely popular at that time, and Holeman was influenced by his recordings of the distinctive Piedmont sound.
