Gig Alert: Holly Golightly and The Brokeoffs at Mercury Lounge 10/27

“I think that it’s the jewel in our crown,” Holly Golightly says of Coulda Shoulda Woulda, (out Octber 16th) the eighth Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs album, "When you do something for a really long time, it stands to reason that you’re gonna become more proficient at it.” 

Anyone who’s followed the artist during her career knows that she’s not prone to braggadocio or self-promotion. So when she expresses enthusiasm about her own work, one tends to pay attention.  

Over the course of a career that spans over 25 years and more than 35 albums, the English singer-guitarist has established a niche as one of rock ’n’ roll’s fiercest iconoclasts. Having built a powerful and influential body of U.K.-based work that established her as an indie/D.I.Y. icon, she relocated to a farm in rural Georgia to establish a new creative identity as half of Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, a duo with Texas-bred multi-instrumentalist and sometime vocalist Lawyer Dave. Over the course of six albums, the pair has carved out a catalog of Americana, drawing from country, blues, folk, gospel ands rockabilly influences to create music that’s deeply personal and accessible.

Supporting their brand-new album on Transdreamer Records as well as Golightly’s new solo album Slowtown Now! on the legendary English indie imprint Damaged Goods, Holly Golightly and The Brokeoffs will be in the Big Apple playing Mercury Lounge on October 27th.
