Jolie Holland and Band.

about

It is a burden and a gift; to know American songs of the last century in her head and her heart, and celebrate and reimagine their legacy. In doing this, Jolie dives straight to the pathos of a song the way the very greatest singers do. Singers like Mavis Staples, or Al Green, or Skip James, or Tom Waits.

Jolie’s newest release ‘Haunted Mountain’ is intricately connected with friend and collaborator Buck Meek’s record of the same name, and features five songs co-written by the pair, including the mesmerizing title track. The record delves into a treasure trove of themes, from anti-colonial thought to homelessness, all while exploring the profound significance of being in reciprocity with nature. ‘Haunted Mountain’ is a triumph of boundless creativity, profound lyricism, and thought-provoking artistry. With poetic storytelling awash in a dream-like sonic palett****e, Holland invites audiences on an alluring journey that transcends genres and leaves an indelible mark on the heart and mind.

This concert will feature a fourpiece band and songs that get in deep.
