Holcombe Waller is an American composer, singer and performance artist.

His work first received international attention with his 2001 album Extravagant Gesture.

The indie album was lauded by a Spin Magazine review,[1] and in REVOLVER Magazine Ann Powers wrote, "For melodic sweep, the prize goes to Holcombe Waller, whose self-released Extravagant Gesture is a small pop epic.

"[2] Waller's pop influences shifted towards folk for his 2005 release, Troubled Times.

The work continued to receive broad critical attention including a positive review in Paste Magazine and a large editorial feature in BUTT Magazine.
