Jolie is here to share her story and her songs, on record and live at Wild Woods Blue, in conversation with Jeff Woods. "Jolie Anastasia is a folk and Americana/Canadiana singer-songwriter whose music feels like a conversation around a fire—intimate, timeless, and rooted in the human spirit. With a voice that carries both tenderness and grit, she weaves stories of love, resilience, and belonging. From Ontario to open skies far beyond, Jolie’s melodies echo the traditions of the folk greats while carving her own path, balancing vulnerability with quiet strength. Her music invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and find yourself reflected in the poetry of her songs—like letters written from the soul to anyone willing to hear". Guitar in hand, Jolie is accompanied by guitarist/singer Braden Mahon.
