![]() ![]() I caught up with her - while she was at sound check at a recent gig in Portland - and talked about her new album and beyond. Along with her band, the Grand Chandeliers - Indigo Street, Carey Lamprecht and Scott Magee - Holland is embarking on the second leg of the Blood tour and will make a stop at UCSD’s Loft on Monday night. Whether it’s one of her meticulously crafted ballads or a stripped-down cover of a tune from one of her influences, the vocals seem as natural in a New York City concert hall as they do in a backwoods juke joint. Her husky timbre reeks with authenticity and has an undeniably timeless quality. I need to shave my head because I need to get rid of this character,' Holland explained. What really separates the multi-instrumentalist from many of her talented peers, however, is that voice. During the course of five ANTI- albums, including this summer’s Pint of Blood, Holland has blurred the lines between Americana, country, folk and blues in endlessly engaging ways. The 36-year-old Texan turned musical vagrant is articulate, opinionated and not afraid to tell you what’s on her mind - or call bulls- if she doesn’t like what’s on yours.īut what makes her a dangerous subject is exactly makes her an interesting and exciting singer/songwriter. Will they reach Makayla in time to rescue her from certain death and bring her safely home, or will they be. ![]()
