In these troubled times marked by indifference, intolerance, and Dancing with the Stars, it is a god-damned given that we need the truly remarkable, chameleonic singer/guitarist/raconteur/probably-good-at-math Holly Golightly in our heads and hearts more than ever! The ex-Headcoatee, Midas-touch collaborator, and solo star begins her latest tour tonight in lucky Birmingham, AB with her cowboy outfit, The Brokeoffs (in reality, frequent Golightly side-man Lawyer Dave). This tour is in support of their latest record, Medicine County, which was released just last week on Transdreamer.
