HOLLY MCNARLAND | Avalanche Bar & Grill Holly first burst on the music scene with her 1995 independent EP, Sour Pie, and 1997 major label debut, Stuff, which was certified platinum. She won a Juno for Best New Solo Artist in 1998, and toured all across North America, performing for thousands.

She has no shackles to the music industry and is free to make music when she wants, how she wants and with whom she wants. The album is the result of over a year’s work, in and out of the studio, and for her represents a move to become closer to her fans.

Since moving back to Toronto with her family, the mother of two, who has a JUNO Award, and gold and platinum albums under her belt, has been writing for other artists, as well as composing her own songs.

Opening for Holly are local favourites Brodie Dawson and Robin Mills. This show is not to be missed!
