Holly Macve was born in Ireland and raised in Yorkshire, but the sound of her music is rooted strongly in America. She credits her mother’s collection of old blues and Bob Dylan records as a crucial influence, and she’s adopted a singing style that bounces between a country-western twang and a high-and-lonesome yodel. Her debut album, “Golden Eagle”, comes out March 3rd via the wonderful quality label Bella Union . Here is a song taken from that album, “Heartbreak Blues.” If you’re into the same kinds of old records that Holly grew up on, or newer stuff like Angel Olsen and Margo Price, you should definitely give this a listen. Holly doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but she’s got a songwriting style that’s very accomplished for a young artist’s debut album (she’s 21). Listen to “Heartbreak Blues” . She played SXSW last year and she’ll play again this year. All Most other dates are in the UK and Ireland..
