MAS Presents: Jolie Holland

For the first time since 2014, Jolie Holland – singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, and producer – returns to Denver.

The enigmatic artist, with eight studio albums to her name, embodies a style best described as a fusion of American roots, rock, and experimental. Formerly a member of the well-known Canadian folk-group the Be Good Tanyas, Holland has been on the road since the early 2000s, more recently sharing the stage with names such as Big Thief, St. Vincent, Elbow, and Mavis Staples.

Said Lou Reed once to Holland, “I could have listened to you all night”.

Holland’s latest album, Haunted Mountain (2023), was received with great acclaim reasserting “her stature as one of the most electrifying performers on the contemporary scene” (Vinyl District). For this album, the songstress teamed up with Buck Meek of Big Thief to create an “otherworldly” and “intimate” (NPR) masterpiece with lyrics rooted in discord and provocation.

Holland’s debut solo album, Catalpa (2003) along with her sophomore release, Escondida (2004), established Holland as one of the nation's most important young songwriters. Her follow-up albums Springtime Can Kill You (2006), The Living and the Dead (2008), and Pint Of Blood (2011) are hailed as “transmissions from dustier times” with Holland’s voice “cutting through the din” (NPR). Wildflower Blues, her seventh studio album, is a captivating collaboration with former Be Good Tanyas bandmate, Samantha Parton, released in 2017.

Holland’s authentically raw and emotive voice, as well as her ability to embody the weird and the wonderful (Wine Dark Sea (2014)), have earned her space in the studio with Booker T, Lucinda Williams, and TV On The Radio, collaborations with Hal Willner, Kronos Quartet, and Boots Riley, and Tom Waits as a fan.

Grab a ticket, come early, stay late, and simmer in the haunting sounds of Jolie Holland.
