Bluesfest: Jolie Holland

The first time I saw Jolie Holland she looked a bit gothic. Perhaps it was the dark, mostly empty and somewhat chilly state of Barrymore's back in October 2006. Perhaps it was because she talked about the bat exhibit at the Museum of Nature. Anyway, her performance at Bluesfest was much sunnier, though it sill had that combination of jazz, blues and Americana that makes me think of Texas music (I blame Willie Nelson). She was fresh of a new album with her band The Grand Chandeliers. Unfortunately she only had one chandelier with her.

Black and white action!



Violin action!



Colourful action!



And so on!



The whole lot!



There may be a bit too much stage for one person.



It was a good set, not to mention much warmer.
