"Jolie Holland has been called one of America's finest musical poets. Her words find communion with her music, with roots in folk, traditional country, jazz and a hint of the blues".—NPR.org
Texas-bred singer-songwriter (and former founding member of The Be Good Tanyas) Jolie Holland navigates a new rock approach that is built upon folk, blues and jazz. Her latest studio album 'the Living & the Dead' is a work between worlds, of moving on and finding something new, of missed chances and promises on distant horizons. On the album, Holland worked with co-producer Shahzad Ismaily (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Two Foot Yard, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog), guitar maestros Marc Ribot and M. Ward (who also produced one song and helped shape the sound of others) and drummer Rachel Blumberg (M. Ward, Bright Eyes, the Decemberists). Holland's voice is the same beautiful instrument as always, never before sounding so confident, relaxed or emotive. Don't miss her for this special, intimate performance.
Rain Machine (also known as Kyp Malone) opens the show. Malone, known to many as guitarist-singer for soulful art rockers TV On The Radio, explains the origin of Rain Machine: "I've been writing and recording songs alone since I moved to NYC in 2000, at first alone because I didn't know anyone, then through the years by choice because of a particular freedom that going it alone afforded. I've played regularly since then, at first under the name Black Lights until some kids in Texas told me they were already using that name. Then under my own name but I didn't like how "Kyp Malone" looked on mock-ups of t-shirts and fliers, thus Rain Machine."
