In 1993, Ultra Blue was put on the back burner when Holmes joined up with Street Magic, an a cappella quintet specializing in Doo Wop.
A short article written by Holmes was published on the backside page of the August 1996 Musician magazine called "The Morning After 'Til Tuesday" in which Holmes detailed some of the differences between working with 'Til Tuesday and doing general business work on a local level with Street Magic.
According to an interview he gave to the Valley Advocate, the band inherited its name from the Lynsey De Paul song "Love Bomb".
[3] The band built up a sizable following in the Southern Vermont/ Western Massachusetts area and played numerous weddings and private parties for the next 13 years.
Late 2012 sees Holmes again working with producer and bass player Paul Bryant, on the Sarana VerLin[5] and Billy Brandt[6] CD Going Home.
