This Little Bird Told Me...
Jolie Holland can quite justifiably described as a songbird -- that is, if a songbird plays the guitar, ukulele, and box fiddle; is an incredible whistler; and sings neo-Americana songs about William Burroughs and the Civil War in a syrupy, vowel-loopy, almost-boozy voice.
Yes? Moving on.
Holland will be playing at Schubas (3159 N. Southport) on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 9 p.m. Opening the show is Matt Bauer, a big scary-looking dude who plays surprisingly delicate and lovely alt-folk songs on the banjo.
