Listening to the music of Jolie Holland has a way of awakening the ghosts that many of us thought we’d laid to rest. Regardless of how difficult that can be on us as individuals, it speaks even greater volumes about Holland’s songwriting acumen and the power of the music she sings. Take one listen to her song “Palmyra” and your mind will drift to past loves whether you want it to or not.With a singing style that borrows from folk, country, and blues without wholly claiming any of the three, it’s not surprisingly that Tom Waits is one of her biggest fans. If you didn’t already know, Holland is coming to Seattle on October 6th and playing a show at the Triple Door. Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door. But we’ve got a pair of tickets to giveaway to a lucky reader. Just email us with the words Jolie Holland in the subject line and a winner will be chosen at random. Good luck.
