Artists:Jolie Holland
From WWR
|
With Creole roots in New Orleans, Jolie was born and raised in Texas. By the age of six she was writing songs on the toy piano. From the beginning, it seemed as if Jolie was eager to continue something she had started in some other time and place. In her early teenage years Jolie added fiddle and guitar to her set of tools. It soon became clear that the classroom was not the place to grow as an artist. After leaving home, Jolie fell into a set of artists that traveled like a circus without a tent or a destination. They bummed around between Austin and New Orleans, soaking up the flavors of the South. Then, Jolie headed out West and made her way up the coast to Vancouver. She co-founded a folk outfit called the Be Good Tanyas. After contributing to the groups' first album, Blue Horse, Jolie set off to lead her own project in San Francisco.
Never intended for public ears, what was to become her first album, Catalpa was given to a few friends and eventually sold at shows. Quickly taking on a life of its own, this courageous little disc made it around the world and back. When Catalpa was made available for sale viaJolie's website and CDBaby.com, orders came in from almost every state in the union, all over Canada, Europe and even Japan. Paste Magazine said this about Jolie and Catalpa ; "…a songwriting talent of poetic grace…Holland's voice is a remarkably supple instrument; and her phrasing and the way she sidles up to notes is nearly miraculous." taken from sweetslyrics
