Los Angeles singer-songwriter James Houlahan faced tremendous challenges during the January 2025 fires while working on his new album, realizing the fragility of life. Now based in LA since 2012, Houlahan’s seventh album, On a Wing, set for release on February 25, 2026, encapsulates themes of resilience and the significance of music amidst turmoil. Recorded with producer Fernando Perdomo (Dave Kerzner, Echo in the Canyon), the album features seven original songs that celebrate embracing change and perseverance, supported by the chemistry of renowned musicians Danny Frankel and Greg Cohen. With contributions from folk legend John Kruth, who enriches the soundscape with diverse instruments, Houlahan’s work draws imagery from nature and flight, echoing Emily Dickinson’s sentiment that “hope is the thing with feathers.” Through his music, Houlahan seeks to uplift and inspire, inviting listeners to envision a world filled with beauty and hope.
