WHAT IT IS: Raised on the music of Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton, Canadian singer-songwriter Goldie Boutilier has been performing since age five. A revolving door of labels and aliases later, she returned to her hometown roots and re-established herself as an alt-country star, with a nod to 1950s and 1960s Americana. Her new era of music has earned praise from the likes of Zane Lowe and Elton John. The writing process for her latest EP, The Actress, sent Boutilier on a journey of integrity, purity, vulnerability and a healing return to herself.
