Whitford/St. Holmes is the self-titled debut of then ex-Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford and then ex-Ted Nugent vocalist Derek St. Holmes, released in 1981.

History

In 1980 Brad Whitford left Aerosmith to team up with Derek St. Holmes, who had previously played with Ted Nugent. The two started the band "Whitford/St. Holmes" together with Dave Hewitt and Steve Pace.

In 1981 they recorded their self-titled first and only album. The album was followed by a tour but neither the album nor the tour was any big success. In 1983 Whitford reunited with Joe Perry to play live at several shows with his band The Joe Perry Project. In 1984 both guitarists finally once again returned to Aerosmith to record "Done With Mirrors", released in 1985 on Geffen Records.[2]
