Near, Holly

2018

A collection of outspoken songs performed with simplicity and wisdom from singer songwriter Holly Near. Near's work has been synonymous with social change activism for well over 45 years. Her new songs dig deep into subjects like bullying, domestic violence and flood destruction in Puerto Rico. Still there is a twinkle long identified with Hollys view of life as she brings laughter and tenderness to the human condition - as in "Coup dEtat" that Holly delightfully rhymes with Mardi Gras and Menage a Trois. Fire flies, an old fashioned front porch, pondering on the moon and a goose bump duet with her nephew Quinn Van Antwerp. Then there is her voice, which is more powerful and clearer than ever. With Tammy Hall (piano), Jan Martinelli (bass), Nina Gerber (guitars) and outstanding guest instrumentalists.
